About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an intense, adult musical-drama about ambition, ego, and burnout, with surreal touches and big stage energy; Not for you if you dislike dark, self-destructive character studies or dreamlike detours.
Pros: emotionally raw and intimate; unforgettable musical numbers; bold, honest self-portrait | Cons: can feel indulgent; occasionally confusing structure; some sequences wear on
