Idol Audience Reviews

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
