What this episode covers

On the 53rd episode of Piecing It Together, Josh Bell joins me again for Vox Lux, Brady Corbet's polarizing look at the life of a pop star (played as a young girl by Raffey Cassidy and as an adult by Natalie Portman) whose life and career is marred by tragedy. A difficult movie, but a fascinating one, Josh and I fall on totally different ends of the spectrum of opinions on the film which makes for a great conversation. Puzzle pieces include A Star Is Born, We Need To Talk About Kevin, mother! and Dogville. As always, SPOILER ALERT for Vox Lux (and any other movies we discussed)! https://www.voxluxmovie.com/ (https://www.voxluxmovie.com/) This episode will be followed up later this week with a second conversation about the movie! So stay tuned for more Vox Lux. Josh Bell is a film critic whose work has been seen in the Las Vegas Weekly, Film Racket and more.
