What was Portman thinking?
20 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Honestly all I can say by the end of this film is: What was Natalie Portman thinking? If someone had come to me with this script I would have told them to go away and work on it some more. The story made no sense. It starts off as a moving story of a young girl who faces the trauma of surviving a school shooting and from this her musical career takes off. It then jumps 15 odd years into the future where we see the girl, is now a spoilt rock star with no regard for anyone's feelings including those of her sister and daughter. This isn't so bad but nothing is resolved, nothing happens and it has this bizarre ending with watching her sing song after song at her rock concert. Admittedly Portman's performance is brilliant. But there really is not point to it at all.
