Vox Lux (2018)
In a strong drama we live through the story of a strong struggle related to that adolescence turned to success in a short period. The teenage Celeste (Ravi Cassidy) succeeded in crossing a violent tragedy after singing at a memorial service, where her life became famous. Celeste is transformed into a booming pop star with the help of her sister, Stacey Martin, and talent director Good Low, to another life of success and fame. The film presents a realistic look at her life and her tragedies at first. In the end, the Vox Lux albums seem to be quite different.

Vox Lux is truly invested in how pop music functions as salvation for many, even if it leads to damnation for one particularly jaded individual.

Powered along by Portman and Cassidy, Vox Lux has a lot to say, but, despite being very good in parts, misses out on its place at the top of the charts.

Vox Lux plays like the loveless and cynical flip side to Bradley Cooper's A Star Is Born.

Dazzling cinematography and haunting music.

I suspect, however, that Corbet's aims are actually more modest than many critics have credited: to create a fun, irony-drenched visual story that skips through a frenzied life with the rhythm of a video clip.

Ultimately, the indulgent "Vox Lux" comes across like a puzzling leaked demo that hasn't been finessed into a cohesive song.

It aims, it fires, it misses every target.

Through it all, Natalie Portman is a gamer, but in the case of this neon nightmare of a film, it was Game Over long before she hit the concert stage.
