Star-Crossed: The Film

The best visual album of the decade was Beyonces Lemonade. Not a biased post bc im not the biggest fan of either artist. I lost interest in star crossed within 10 minutes. Its not funny, the music is bland and 2000s fashion is not cute anymore like seriously.

"The film." Nope. Sorry. It's a collection of music videos VERY loosely connected through VERY short scenes of dialogue. The music videos are pretty good, but let's not pretend this is anything more than a compilation.

Kacey wrote this album regarding her divorce taking us on the emotional rollercoaster she went through. The features in this film are wonderful, Victoria Pedretti being my favorite, with excellent characters and scenes. Kacey's looks are marvelous from start to finish and the detail in fashion and scene sets should not be overlooked.

The music is her star-crossed album and is truly a masterpiece. The story she tells and how well written the songs are always blow my mind. Renee Rapp mentions Kacey as one of her music idols and talks of "Camera Roll" being her favorite song. I hold "Good Wife" dear to my heart and the aesthetic portrayed here including her character in this scene is spot on.

Given you find yourself simply ripped out of the love fairytale you thought would last forever, give this film a watch and immerse yourself in Kaceys deep lyrics and the scenes that will make you laugh, cry, upset, longing, and hopefully feeling capable of moving forward.

Thank you for this powerful piece, Kacey!

Kacey is the real thing. She writes amazing songs and has a style and approach all her own. I was mesmerized from beginning to end. And I felt like it told a cohesive story in an extremely artistic way.

I've loved Kacey since the very beginning of her career, but this visual album was a complete misfire, both visually and sonically. Basically it's maybe one or two music videos worth of content stretched into a forty eight minute snooze fest. Nothing about it was particularly interesting or thought provoking. Most of the imagery and symbolism was trite and uninspired. There were a couple of decent songs, but the mastering of said songs was so overly loud that it sounded like it could clip at any moment. Kacey, who I think has a sweet and bell-like voice, came off as an amateur vocalist in a way I didn't expect from her. She seemed very out of her comfort zone. Overall , I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who isn't foaming at the mouth for more content from her.
