Reviews

Great film!

"Love the slipcover on this one. Made me buy it sight-unseen."

Nick C. (5/5)

Hidden gem

"I really enjoyed this film. It was an interesting look at fame and the cost of it. I am now a big fan of this director as her previous film was also really good. This film is one in which you will have to interpret its meaning but it is definitely worth it"

Denver G. (5/5)

Camp Gold

"This movie is super campy, strange. And a fun watch! Highly recommended."

Jeffrey L. (5/5)

Fun musical adventure that gives way to darkness

"What starts as a kitschy tribute to '80s solo-act specials slowly curdles into something much darker. A really fun ride that Sophie von Haselberg brings to life with aplomb, Amander Kramer is really doing special stuff like no one else. Has a somewhat similar vibe to Please Baby Please, while still very much being its own unique thing."

Adam H. (4/5)

Interesting

"Interesting film from an interesting new filmmaker"

Joar R. (4/5)

Give Me Pity

"Mind bending. Turning the 60s-70s era diva-mop into an existential romp."

Don S. (5/5)

Terrifically trippy psychedelic dread!!!

"I love this movie and think it's a great time! The atmosphere is wonderful and the lead actress plays her emotional role very well and entertainingly. My only critique is that I wish this release had come with a booklet. There's so many beautiful shots I could imagine for it. Besides that, the slipcover looks awesome with an almost static tv design. I'm so happy to have this!!"

Jack K. (4/5)

What Late Night with the Devil wishes it was

"Commits to its format in a much more interesting way and creates a compelling, sad, tense character piece"

Travis R. (4/5)

Great

"We really dug this one. Freakin’ powerhouse performance by Sophie Von Haselberg."

Sam M. (4/5)

Tune in

"Delirious, ominous, hilarious! The lighting, the costumes, the set, all so perfect for what they were going for. Highly recommended."
