Overview

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.

Rated R | Length 114 minutes

Viewing Notes

Not at all the movie I was expecting. I’m split because there are things here that I like (the first half) but by the end I’m not sure what it ultimately trying to say. Weirdly as much I love Portman I didn’t care for her story in this. Also weird that Raffey Cassidy portrays young Celeste and Celeste’s daughter. That was distracting altho I’m sure there was a point to that (maybe something circular). I guess I just didn’t care enough.
