You can watch Vox Lux (2018) for free on Kanopy.

In 1999, teenage sisters Celeste and Eleanor survive a seismic, violent tragedy. The sisters compose and perform a song about their experience, making something lovely and cathartic out of catastrophe — while also catapulting Celeste to stardom. By 2017, the now 31-year-old Celeste is mother to a teenage daughter of her own and struggling to navigate a career fraught with scandals when another act of terrifying violence demands her attention.

A hauntingly electric transformation turns a pop icon into a hollowed-out relic of her own making. This neon-soaked character study tracks the dizzying distance between a tragic childhood melody and the lonely vacuum of global superstardom.
