Review of Vox Lux (2018) by Brent_Marchant — 16 Dec 2018
An offering that tries ever so hard to get traction (in a number of ways) but never succeeds in generating any kind of meaningful direction or momentum. Much of the cryptic dialogue and vastly overwritten voice-over narration makes little sense and comes across more like pointless stream of consciousness babble.
What's more, for a film about a pop star, there's precious little music in it (what's that all about?). Natalie Portman makes a valiant effort to try and save this patient, but, by the time she finally comes on screen in the second act, the code has already long been called.
