Overview

• Following a buzzy Sundance premiere and an August 20 Los Angeles debut, the film begins its theatrical run on August 22 through MUBI.
• Writer-director Alex Russell makes his feature debut with a story about a retail worker who maneuvers into a rising pop star’s circle and becomes dangerously entangled.
• Archie Madekwe plays Oliver and Théodore Pellerin plays Matthew, with support from Sunny Suljic, Havana Rose Liu, Zack Fox, and Daniel Zolghadri.
• MUBI reportedly acquired the film out of Sundance in a mid–seven-figure deal, extending its festival-to-distribution trajectory.
• The production features original music with contributions from Kenny Beats and Dijon and a Rex Orange County song, as some critics question the plausibility of Oliver’s musical stature while praising the lead performances.
