Vox Lux's reviews
Media reviews
The Telegraph
All-pervasive millennial unease ? the sense the world no longer works as it used to, or should ? is 'Vox Lux?s' plangent root-position chord, and the film offers no easy cure ? beyond Celeste?s genuinely great, and Gaga-like, music.
The Hollywood Reporter
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.
Variety
Powered in its second half by a riveting performance of fiercely mannered bravado by Natalie Portman, as a kamikaze electropop diva running her Faustian fame off and under the rails, 'Vox Lux' paints a sharp, shellacked portrait of a ghost in the celebrity machine.
Indiewire
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.
The Guardian
It?s part satire, part social comment, all fragmented and downright inconclusive.
