This rounds out the group of four films that I was looking forward to this fall season. Usually I start with what I like about a film before going on to what I don't like, but this time I'm switching it up in order to better discuss how this film works. Here goes:

Seen Saturday November 15th: Beyond the Lights

London-born Noni is a superstar on a rise, with her charisma and sex appeal creating huge buzz in the States ahead of the release of her first album. After what should be one of her proudest moments, she attempts suicide because she can't take being unseen, unheard, and pretending she's someone she's not anymore. Police officer and up-and-coming politician Kaz stops her and tries to convince her that life is worth living. What follows is not only a romantic relationship between the two, but also their respective personal journeys of self-discovery.

"Open Your Heart. Find Your Voice."

What I don't like about this movie: The first half of it is incredibly dull and predictable.Noni as the superstar and damsel in distress behaves exactly as we would expect her to:
