🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Harvey Enders' film transcends the typical rise-and-fall narrative, offering a raw examination of artistic integrity versus commercial machinery. Hazel O'Connor's electrifying performance and vocals fuel this gritty journey.

What lingers after the final chord is a poignant question about the cost of fame and who truly gets broken in the process. — MovieFinder Editorial

Alone, with the volume up, to fully absorb the film's raw energy and intimate collapse.
