It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
View MoreThe tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
View MoreActress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
View MoreI just can not explain with words how much i adore this movie, like for real is my absolutely favourite one! People tend to underestimate it but it's sooo good! My opinion is that every romantic person should see this movie!!! 10/10
View MoreWatched this movie multiple times and I still can't get enough of it! With this generation that we have now, we often forget that the artists/celebrities are still human beings and I love how this movie shows and relate to a lot of people in Hollywood! I mean not everyone has the same story but there's always more behind the cameras and what the media portrays! I'd love to add more but I do not want to spoil it! It's a must watch though no lie :)I really hope there's more people who can see the movie! Oh and I love that it's on Netflix, like I said I've watched it a few times Already and I still plan on watching it over and over again! Basically I really felt the message from the movie and I hope other celebrities did too, specially here in the U.S but I'm also sure the pressure is also overwhelming anywhere around the world, I mean who knows. Oh and her mom in the movie?!?! I've loved her even from her other Movies, she's really good! But they all were actually! Except for the rapper I think he's really the one one I didn't like in there but if like for you guys to see it for yourself instead! 😊
View MoreThis is a surprisingly good film.. with a reasonable storyline.. good casting/ acting.. above average production values... and a music score that fits the overall tone/ setting of the film. All in all, this is well done movie-making .. above most all others in the genre. There are not many surprises, but all else works, so that all time spent is fairly solid entertainment. And a couple of moments are truly special.. her rendition of Blackbird near the end is spellbinding.. few could do it as well.. casting her was genius. And kudos to the camera and editing crews.. seconds can make or break a good film. For romantic dramas from this year, this has to be considered one of the best.
View MoreGarbage. There was no grounds for the romance between Kaz and Noni. We see why she was drawn to him -- who wouldn't be? Such a stand-up guy -- but what in the world did he he see in an overwhelmed-by-fame-and-an-overbearing-mom pop sensation?First problem: editing. The opening scene shows a mom (Macy) watching her daughter enter a talent competition. Cut to second scene, where same mom is now managing a pop sensation. For all I knew, the child who had won 1st Runner Up in the talent contest is still a child, waiting at home for her entertainment agent mom. There is no clue that the pop sensation is the now-grown child. I still hadn't figured it out when Macy demands that Noni promise her she won't try suicide again. Give me on screen captions containing dates, years, something!The musical numbers are embarrassingly trashy. The only interesting thing was discovering that Minnie Driver is a Brit, as I'd only seen her in one other role, Return to Me (also a waste of time), where I seem to recall she played an American. She had me fooled. She also has begun to resemble Mary Tyler Moore.Don't waste your time.
