Failure to launch

 

Lucy in the Sky (2019)


Directed by Noah Hawley this film inspired by real events stars Natalie Portman, Jon Hamm, Zazie Beetz and Ellen Burstyn. Following her return from her first trip to space and astronaut has a manic episode.


Straying from the events that inspired this film what most disappoints me about the script is that we never get to see the consequences of the protagonists actions. The film is much more interested in pushing an existential crisis narrative than dealing with people. In the end this film was a let down for someone that really loves both space and big concept films.


2/5
