Overview

• Hurry Up Tomorrow, a film starring Abel Tesfaye (The Weeknd) and directed by Trey Edward Shults, premiered on May 16, 2025, to largely negative reviews.
• The film dramatizes Tesfaye's 2022 vocal collapse at SoFi Stadium, exploring themes of fame, mental health, and the fragility of his persona.
• Critics have labeled the film a visually ambitious but narratively superficial project, prioritizing style over substance with excessive 360-degree shots and shifting aspect ratios.
• Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan's performances as a troubled fan and Abel's manager, respectively, have been highlighted as standouts in an otherwise poorly received film.
• The movie serves as a companion piece to Tesfaye's album of the same name, completing his multimedia trilogy but failing to deliver the depth or satire its premise suggests.
