🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative through the personal journeys of players and coaches, relying on the stark contrast between the glamour of the stage and the industry's gritty underbelly. It explores a phenomenon where teenagers become celebrities, and careers are measured in milliseconds.

What lingers after viewing is a sobering portrait of a subculture where ambition and adrenaline are often purchased with emotional burnout. It prompts reflection on the cost of digital glory. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Rhys James
