Back from watching Hurry Up Tomorrow with Jenna Ortega. Very impressed. Wrote this on letterboxd:
Very visual for a film about music... Unconventional also in other ways. Where most films are basically books with pictures, here the full possibilities of the medium are used to delve into the main character's mental breakdown. And as a viewer we are not given the comfort of distance, we are right in it.
I saw this film as a big fan of Jenna Ortega. I didn't really know The Weeknd, but he did very well.
Jenna went deep in this film and made it, fully understanding what this film required. Her character meets the main character when both their psyches are spiraling out of control. But is she the problem or the solution? Or something else?
This film is not about obsessive fans, no matter how much that's suggested (also in the aspect ratio?), it is about something else. And also there I think its treatment is unconventional.
