Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:

  • Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
    • Excerpt: The transition is grating, the compelling Cassidy giving way to an abrasive Portman, one curdled by celebrity, her accent coarser, her persona more fragile despite outward appearances, the Ouroboros personified.
  • Karl Delossantos @ Smash Cut Reviews
    • Excerpt: Vox Lux has an interesting story and visuals, but its lack of focus and uneven characters leave it little more than a hollow pop musical drama.
  • Chris Feil @ The Film Experience
  • Candice Frederick @ The Wrap
  • Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
    • Excerpt: I understand some will walk out feeling Vox Lux is a mess of conflicting ideas and moods, but Brady Corbet offers an exciting metamorphosis from low to high; a boundary-pushing shift in time and character directors rarely attempt.
  • Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
    • Excerpt: I applaud Corbet for swinging for the fences because his message can spark a much-needed conversation. Unfortunately that message is spoken so loud and clear that you can’t call it metaphor anymore.
  • [New] | Darren Mooney @ the m0vie blog
    • Excerpt: Voice of a generation.
  • Pat Mullen @ Cinemablographer
    • Excerpt: Corbet muses upon the dawn of America’s cultural identity in the age of hyper-celebrity and ephemeral fame with this innovative character study that dazzlingly juggles camp and deliriously nonsensical pretension.
  • Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
    • Excerpt: Vox Lux is a haunting spectacle with the safety off.
  • Frank Ochieng @ Screen Anarchy
    • Excerpt: …well-meaning but disjointed. It is too bad that Corbet’s mediocre musical drama could not have hit a better sounding note to illustrate its probing point.
  • Paulo Portugal @ Insider [Portuguese]
  • Ruben Rigaud @ Cocalecas.net [Spanish]
