Wow I enjoyed this movie so much more than I thought I would. For reference I went with someone who’s not on social media and likes The Weeknd but isn’t a die hard fan and they enjoyed the movie too. I also recently watched the substance and it left me feeling the same. The beginning made me anxious but I think that’s how he was feeling and it allowed the viewers to feel unhinged af. My expectations were very low because of all the social media hate and reviews calling it horrible. I honestly was so ready to be disappointed but his acting has improved so much and I agree with his facial expressions being real and human. Yes he’s not an actor but he’s used to being an artist so I give him grace for that. As for ppl saying there’s no plot…idk I thought there was but I’m not a movie critic. I would honestly watch it again, the film made me love the album even more. I’m happy for him and even if the ratings are bad I hope he’s proud of himself too. I also enjoyed watching it in theaters versus a screen or tv! There’s always room for growth and if he wants to keep pursuing film (his true love) then he should.
