Atom User Reviews for Vox Lux
more realistoc of a pop star's behavior then something like A Star is Born. original and surprisingly disturbing, a very brave film
This was a very depressing movie. From start to finish and the music was over dramatic., the narration was to me lazy writing.
Thought it would never end
The most WTF movie of the year... beat Sorry To Bother You by a mile
Man, that was a hell of a ride. And Natalie Portman, wow. Watch it.
This movie was awful. This movie doesn't know what "show, don't tell" means, some of the casting decisions were terrible, the songs were forgettable, and most of the things they DO show go nowhere. I recommend that you skip this one.
Metacritic
Corbet's high-caliber melodrama combines food for thought with sense-blitzing spectacle. Between screaming tantrums and booming anthems, it leaves us with a nagging sense that history never quite repeats itself, but sometimes rhymes. Usually to a thumping disco beat.
Vox Lux is a powerful, haunting film in part because Portman is a powerful, haunting presence — you can’t turn away from her, even if you occasionally want to.
Vox Lux is intellectually charged spectacle, with one foot in the Euro-art tradition and the other ankle-deep in the pop zeitgeist.
