• Archie Madekwe stars as Oliver opposite Théodore Pellerin as Matthew, a fan who gains access to the singer’s inner circle.
• Reviewers commend Russell’s assured feature debut and the ensemble’s work, noting its focus on parasocial dynamics and gatekeeping around celebrity.
• The film features original music with contributions from Kenny Beats, Dijon, and Rex Orange County, though several critiques question whether the songs sell Oliver’s stardom.
• Some notices cite thin psychological insight and limited thriller momentum, following an L.A. premiere earlier this week.
