Vox Lux will be released in the USA in December. We haven´t seen any new photos or trailers of the film yet, but the distributor is working hard to give visibility to the movie. It has been announced this week that the film will participate in two new festivals: at the Austin Film Festival at the end of October, and at the London Film Festival, from October 10 to 21.
Yesterday, individuals all over the U.S. country walked out of their schools and workplaces in support of survivors, and specifically in support of Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez, who have accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault. The activists were joined by many celebrities, some of them came out with placards on the streets, while others made statements in their social networks. Natalie was one of them:
Great news: Deadline reports that NEON is giving the Brady Corbet´s movie an awards season push with a limited release on December 7. This will be followed by an expansion on Dec. 14 and another wide break on Dec. 21, playing into Christmas and New Year’s. This means that the film (and Natalie´s performance), will enter definitely in this awards season.
There is not much news these last days. However, we have many candid photos of Natalie. This time we can see her walking with the dog near Griffith Park in Los Feliz. Celebzz has several photos of the moment:
And more photos taken on Wednesday. Natalie was seen running errands with her kids (not pictured) in Los Angeles. This time, Just Jared has the pictures:
After two intense weeks of photos and interviews, Natalie goes back to the routine, and she was spotted going to a business meeting in Silver Lake neighborhood of LA on Tuesday. As usual, Daily Mail has the photos:

I was lucky enough to attend the two Natalie screenings that took part at the Toronto International Film Festival, and am going to give thorough spoiler free reviews. Keep in mind that I will still be describing these two films (The Death and Life of John F. Donovan, and Vox Lux), so these reviews might be a little bit spoiler heavy, despite the strict intention of not giving away specific plot details.
Without further adieu, here is a review of the surprise hit Vox Lux by Brady Corbet.

Natalie’s attendance at the Toronto festival last week has given us countless interviews, photos and videos. Today is a good time to see some more that we have overlooked the last days…
–The Guardian published an interesting article/interview with Natalie a few days ago, on the occasion of the premiere of the films of Brady Corbet and Xavier Dolan in Toronto:
-LA Times has been covering the Toronto festival these days, and they interviewed Natalie and Brady Corbet in their studio last weekend. We have a video and a “Polaroid” photo of Natalie:
It seems that Natalie did a lot of interviews at the Toronto festival last week. This time we have one for Q on CBC, in which she analyzes in depth Vox Lux and all the themes of the film:
Vanity Fair has published an interesting video interview with Natalie about her character in Vox Lux, in which she reveals, among many other things, the one part of the role she couldn’t leave behind on set:
Click on the image to see it:
Natalie attended several press junkets with Jacob Tremblay last weekend. We had seen a couple of videos, but now Natalie has shared on her Instagram a great photo taken at the Variety Studio:
Xavier Dolan´s film may not have had good reviews, but Vox Lux seems to have good prospects on the horizon. The purchase of the film by Neon is great news, and we probably have a release date (and a trailer) soon. Until then, images of these last days continue to emerge, like this wonderful photo of Natalie published by Vanity Fair Italy, taken just before attending the premiere of the film by Brady Corbet in the Venetian festival:
The movie by Xavier Dolan premiered yesterday at TIFF, and more interviews of Natalie and Jacob Tremblay are emerging. This time it’s a short video for Cineplex Movies:
Natalie has returned to Los Angeles with the family, after an intense weekend at the Toronto festival. She was seen with Aleph and some friends in Los Feliz on Monday. Daily Mail has a few photos:
After several days of negotiations, Vox Lux got distribution in USA. Variety reports that Neon has landed Brady Corbet´s film. According to the article, it´s possible that the indie studio could push “Vox Lux” into theaters this year in order to qualify for Oscars, something it did to great success with “I Tonya” last year.
The film by Xavier Dolan has been released a few hours ago at the Winter Garden Theatre at the Toronto festival. Natalie did not attend the event, but we have the first reactions to the film. They are divisive, but many of them favorable:
THE DEATH AND LIFE OF JOHN F. DONOVAN: There’s so much personal experience and heart in the movie that it’s hard to be cruel to it. How much you like Dolan going in will likely determine how/if you connect. I didn’t really but know people who will.

Xavier Dolan’s The Death and Life of John F. Donovan is a masterclass in filmmaking & storytelling. This is a hopeful, heartbreaking film abt the gay experience, mother son relationships, our most intimate childhood dreams: critics & popular audiences will love it. #TIFF18

The Death & Life of John F. Donovan – Xavier Dolan digs real deep to deliver a very personal and incredibly satisfying homage to actors in a story about authenticity and self-love in one of the most exceptional features of his career. Nearly perfect from start to finish. #TIFF18
