  “a lot of people like to sing. you can sing”

  was fully anticipating feeling mildly apathetic about this, but then they opened the movie with genesis by grimes and i was a fool by tegan and sara. back to back. this COMPLETELY won me over, from the saturated colors to the killer soundtrack. the right balance of hazy neon and introspective moments of quiet. i could feel the flaws under the surface, a little clumsy here and there, and cliche as well, but none of that phased me at all. and i do seem to enjoy the hell out of elle fanning no matter what kind of role she’s in

  all in all, this was an absolute blast and hit just right: a vox lux reality show that’s much more digestible, or a really artful disney channel original movie. and i mean that in the most complimentary way possible

  “Teen Spirit” tells a story you’ve seen a thousand times before, but one that people will keep telling each other until we all believe it.

In other ways, the film is inextricably of the moment, set in the neon world of TV singing competitions and scored to the likes of Robyn, Elena Goulding, and Ariana Grande.

  What’s so brave and exciting about Max Minghella’s directorial debut is that it refuses to compromise on either end, a sweet pop spectacle at once both proudly generic and unafraid to be itself.…

  Meet Teen Spirit, Vox Lux's little sister. Elle Fanning can sing and she has STAR POWER. Literally, I felt chills when she sang. Not once, not twice, but three times during the movie.

  There are some problems:

  First, Max Minghella has had an okay career as an actor. He will never be his late father, director Anthony Minghella (The English Patient). That is not a criticism. It's a fact. The story was okay, but not compelling enough most times. Luckily, we have Elle Fanning as Violet. She carries the movie. She could have literally sung "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and driven the audience to tears.

  Secondly, there's a sub-plot involving a record company executive (Rebecca…
