- QuizReese Witherspoon replaced Natalie Portman in the lead role but dropped out to focus on season 2 of Big Little Lies - Piccole grandi bugie (2017). Later, Portman returned in the lead role.
- BlooperIn the swimming pool scene, once Lucy was upright and out of the pool the water in her helmet should be coming out as quickly as it leaked in.
Not so. Underwater there is pressure forcing water in and air out. Out of the water, the lost air has creating negative pressure, a vacuum, holding the water inside her helmet until they cracked the seal to let air in.
- Citazioni
Will Plimpton: You know Michael Collins?
Lucy Cola: Yeah, yeah. Of course. Apollo 11. He flew the command module for Neil and Buzz.
Will Plimpton: Yeah. So you know after he dropped them he circled the moon for hours. It's farther from Earth than any man has ever been. No light, no radio. And he wept, consumed by darkness and then, when he saw the sun again he wept some more. Inside the module he wrote, "I am now truly alone and absolutely alone from any known life. I am it."

Following Lucy (Natalie Portman) as she arrives back on Earth after a mission in space, a combination of wishing to go back and not wanting the life she original had begins to take her over. Not only does could that set-up lend itself to a fascinating character study, but I would have preferred it to not be a true story. As I said, this story doesn't have enough depth to lend itself to a full feature film. After setting up where this character has been and where she is now, Lucy in the Sky has nowhere to go.
Natalie Portman is completely committed to this character and is easily the biggest saving grace of this film. On top of her great performance, there is a very unique way this film is presented. With aspect ration constantly changing throughout the film, it felt like a neat little experiment to have the shape of the screen feel like it was how Lucy was feeling in the moment. Sadly, both of these elements deserved a better film to be a part of. Never once I feel that this was a great character being explored, but rather just a great character, not being explored enough, placed in a terrible film.
I could try to find positives in the fact that the space sequences are beautiful to look at in terms of visual effects, but those sequences end after the first five minutes. The addition of performers like Jon Hamm or Zazie Beetz should normally feel like an elevation, but they're ultimately underused. The climax of this film felt like it should have taken place toward the middle of the movie, because it wasn't all that exciting and like the rest of the movie, pretty much goes nowhere and makes you question what the point of this movie even was.
I'm not one who usually bashed on a film, because I like to see the good in most movies, but it's very difficult when a director like Noah Hawley, who I have loved on many television projects, chooses a poor first outing for his feature film debut. After watching this film at the Toronto International Film Festival, it became the first film that I've ever seen at a festival that I straight-up disliked. There are saving graces when it comes to Natalie Portman, the visual presentation, and even the direction by Noah Hawley, in terms of getting great performances out of everyone, but this is one of the weakest stories that I've seen on the big screen in years.
