About
You may like this if you want a dark, ambitious look at fame, trauma, and public violence that’s more unsettling than uplifting, in the vein of Lords of Chaos; Not for you if you want a straightforward, feel-good rise-to-stardom drama.
Pros: bold, provocative themes; intense lead performance; memorable pop-star atmosphere | Cons: slow, uneven pacing; heavy narration; messy, divisive story
