Ok, Wow, I don't think I've seen a movie like that since the 90s. Some have gotten close, but this one absolutely stinks of clever 90s independent film...
...at least in that era where studios were putting serious bank behind indie films in an effort to score awards and produce something new that audiences would eat up.
The wow sort of starts with the soundtrack, which is brilliant found music that not only fits the era, but fits the film like a globe.
The casting is perfect, with a special shout out to Cynthia Erivo who sold her role as an R&B singer as if, well, she is one, but the delivery was absolutely brilliant on her end, despite the fact that she is one in real life. I guess it's where basically playing yourself pays off in spades.
She was brilliant, but then, so was absolutely everyone else.
And this is all put together with a plot that twists and turns and situations that just move from bad to worse in the best possible Hollywood way.
It's a movie you have to see.
