A movie about a young singer you actually never hear sing. I found it boring as you never to really know the characters or feel sympathy for any of them. Don't waste your time watch something else.
Like others said she NEVER sings!! All she does is fight with her family, hangout with her girlfriend (lover), smoke weed and cigarettes and watch music videos of famous black singers. Ugh, Don't waste you time!
What is a music film about a singer where the principal character NEVER SINGS? Very sporadic, choppy, misdirected piece that never fully invests in the characters, no development of any kind, no idea of the trials and tribulations that made her what built up. A bunch of ra ra hype with absolutely no hype. What was the point? Where did this all come from? The saddest thing is the comparisons with Whitney Houstons story, the tight Christian Family, a hidden addiction problem, a secret lesbian affair, an eventual bad boy intervention. Waste of Giancarlo, Nicey, Sharon, the young talent smh. When there are so many great scripts and talent not cultivated in the movie industry yet waste of films like this can be greenlighted? There's a mad problem!
I am confused by the idea of a film where the protagonist is an up and coming singer whom we never hear sing.
I spent the entire runtime trying to figure out what the director was trying to say by structuring the movie the way it was and have come up short.
Arguably one of the least engaging movies I've seen to date.

Who's idea was it to not have her ever sing. Instead rely of real vintage footage at filler. Lazy filmmaking by the director/producer. What a disappointment, not only to viewers but to the great seasoned actors who put their faith on the script. Someone was overconfident. I feel for all the actors and the writer, because the flop is nowhere near their fault. I kept hoping we'd have her big shining moment. Just once, and the world stays quiet while she sings. I guess they thought they could get away with it being an artistic choice, but it failed miserably. Too bad.
