Review of Vox Lux

Was remarking to myself how innovative and compelling the cinematography was early in the movie. The long shot of the teacher before the violence was striking and extremely memorable. Middle of the movie was very engaging story about the rise of a pop star. Then jump to 2017. If I squint my eyes, maybe I can pretend that making a bad movie for the last hour is some kind of representation of the decline of man or maybe abandoning your own story is a social commentary? Maybe destroying your own film is akin to terrorism? And then you show a 20 minute pop concert, at the end of which, your narrator implies a pact with the devil? I just started laughing when I realized this was how the movie was going to end.
