This movie is sort of a last minute entry into the awards race this year, but it got pretty great reviews when it premiered in Toronto. The trailer makes it look like Portman’s the star, but apparently Neon is placing her in the supporting actress category for potential Oscar buzz, because most of this movie is about her younger self, played by a different actress (again, you cannot tell that from this trailer). It comes out December 7th.
Directed by BRADY CORBET VOX LUX begins in 1999 when teenage sisters Celeste (Raffey Cassidy) and Eleanor (Stacy Martin) survive a seismic, violent tragedy. The sisters compose and perform a song about their experience, making something lovely and cathartic out of catastrophe - while also catapulting Celeste to stardom.
