    It’s not amazing by any means and it’s not complete garbage but it’s definitely an improvement from The Idol. It was just okay.

    I think he'll be better off just being an executive producer or maybe co-writing some stuff. Acting isn't for everybody tbh. SZA landed her first major acting gig and she knocked it out the park. Lady Gaga and Janelle Monae are also decent actors. Abel simply isn't that and it's OKAY lol. I don't know why he keeps forcing it to happen but it'll only work if his acting gets better. Seems like people have already written him off, though and I know Hollywood isn't taking him seriously as an actor after this but he's a famous, rich musician so he'll keep landing roles as long as he wants.

    Honestly the problem isn’t really his acting. It’s his writing. He a has a good on screen presence but when he’s using it to deliver these terrible lines and awful plots he co-creates, it comes off terrible. He needs to do a film project where he’s SOLELY acting and not writing or directing or scoring it as well. Either that or cinematography, he has a good eye for cinematic visuals, but never has a proper story he’s telling with them.

    And this is now two film projects he’s done that are basically just glorified vanity projects. Give us an actual original story, show us how far your film talents reach that isn’t just “fucked up musician story”

    See my above post though. I don’t even think his biggest problem is his acting. It’s his writing

    yeah that scene is purposefully comedic within the context of the film

    s*** made me laugh & people in my theater laugh too

    i'm not expecting people to love this film or view as some sort of cinematic masterpiece, but some people are definitely acting in bad faith or are being disingenuous when talking about it online.

    it's really not THAT bad

    definitely a film specifically made for weeknd fans though

    Y’all can keep writing paragraphs but at the end of the day he’s going to keep doing whatever the f*** he wants. Studios are obviously picking up his stuff even post-Idol so. Sorry you can’t connect with this stuff, it’s pretty fascinating what he’s done so far as a pop star and now as a creative.

    i'm fine with people not liking the film, i just don't like seeing people act in bad faith about it like how some are online

    Would it get this reception if The Idol didn’t exist
