Lucy in the Sky gets too caught up in technical flourishes and repetitive philosophizing to do anything compelling with its premise or characters.

Lucy in the Sky has a very talented cast, but according to reviews, the story is not at their level. Here's why the film has gotten bad reviews.

This is a re-post of our Lucy in the Sky review from the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival. The movie is now playing in limited release. Lucy in the Sky, the feature film debut of Noah Hawley (the creator of the TV series Fargo and Legion), has an interesting and compelling starting point. Most of us will never go to outer space in our life times. At this point in our history, that honor is reserved for a select few, and being able to touch the cosmos has to transform you in some kind of way. Hawley ponders what …

Directed by Noah Hawley (Legion, Fargo) from a screenplay by Brian C. Brown and Elliott DiGuiseppi and Hawley, Lucy in the Sky follows astronaut Lucy Cola (Natalie Portman), a woman whose determination and drive took her to space, and she’s so deeply moved by the life-changing experience that her own reality starts to slowly unravel. Inspired by real events, the film explores how the vastness of space can bring a sense of wonder and awe while the enormity of it can also make your everyday existence feel small and insignificant. During a conference at the film’s Los …

The diaper, or lack thereof, is all anyone is talking about.

Natalie Portman excels in an interesting character study that suffers when mixing fact and fiction.

Lucy in the Sky, the feature film debut of Noah Hawley (the creator of the TV series Fargo and Legion), has an interesting and compelling starting point. Most of us will never go to outer space in our life times. At this point in our history, that honor is reserved for a select few, and being able to touch the cosmos has to transform you in some kind of way. Hawley ponders what that kind of experience would do to someone after you return to Earth, and then just spends about 80 minutes musing on it before he just shrugs, …

Netflix isn't fooling around.

And you thought Padmé Amidala had some wild hairdos.

Fox Searchlight has released a new trailer for Noah Hawley’s upcoming drama Lucy in the Sky. Written by Hawley, Brian C Brown, and Elliott DiGuiseppi, the film stars Natalie Portman as astronaut Lucy Cola, who begins to lose touch with reality after returning to Earth, which now seems small when compared to the majesty of space. This looks pretty terrific. It's not a sci-fi movie per se (I don't think), but instead looks to be a psychological drama/thriller about the impact that going to space and pondering one's existence has on this central character. …

The earth is too small for Natalie Portman's astronaut, Lucy Cola, in the trailer for Legion creator Noah Hawley's feature debut, Lucy in the Sky.

The 2019 Toronto International Film Festival lineup isn’t quite complete just yet.

The film was shot in IMAX and had initially …

Fox Searchlight gives Natalie Portman and director Noah Hawley's true story-inspired drama Lucy in the Sky an October 2019 release date.

From show creator Noah Hawley and Marvel Television, the FX drama series Legion is back for its third and final season, as David Haller (Dan Stevens), a man who believed himself to be schizophrenic only to discover that he is the most powerful mutant the world has ever seen, is forced to confront his actions and the decisions that he’s made. With the dark voices in his head lusting for power and at odds with everyone he once considered a friend, David is now leading a commune to satisfy his need for adulation and he’s enlisted the help …

Fox Searchlight has released the first trailer for Noah Hawley’s upcoming drama Lucy in the Sky. The film stars Natalie Portman as astronaut Lucy Cola, who begins to lose touch with reality after returning to Earth, which now seems small when compared to the majesty of space. Even though Noah Hawley isn’t new here—he’s had two FX shows with Fargo and Legion—I still don’t know what to think about his work. Judging by the trailer for Lucy in the Sky, it definitely seems like he’s much more in Legion territory with trippy visuals …
