Movie Review - Lucy in the Sky
This was a pretty depressing movie. I left the theater and was so sad about so many things. It's not a fun story and certainly not an uplifting one either.
I'm one of the movie goers that like to have fun and be carried away into a riveting or even just plain silly story. What Lucy in the Sky gave me was watching an absolutely brilliant, highly motivated woman spiral out of control and ruin her life's goal.
Portman did a superb job. She encompassed this role with her entire being. She's simply perfect.
I'm giving this movie an A because of her. Also, it was masterfully directed and had a simple beauty to many of the scenes. Certainly not because it left me feeling happy and alive. Just the opposite actually. This wasn't my cup of tea, but I wasn't the target audience.
To the viewers that do enjoy these truthful biopics, I'm pretty sure they nailed it.
