Wallflower Lennon Gates (Sylvie Mix) yearns for access to the inner sanctum of the underground music scene in Columbus, Ohio. When she creates a podcast to interview the local artists she adores, Lennon discovers her own musical ambitions, develops a fast friendship with the striking, confident performer Bobbi Kitten, and in the process creates an identity not wholly her own. Soon, Lennon's aspirations, with some constructive coaxing from Bobbi to find her voice, lead her down a path of dark obsession.

Ultimately, it's as profound as the stoned guy on a couch, musing on the taste difference between a single chip folded on itself and two chips stacked. Go to Full Review Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com 06/17/2022

3.5/5
In the attempt to be both -- that is, a film that sparks a conversation on the issue of authenticity in art while also offering more than one dark twist -- the film, at times, ends up being the very same type of artistic performance it criticizes.

Ghederick Eshmont 06/19/2022 The overall film doesn’t live up to the sum of its parts. The Columbus music scene is an intriguing location to set the film, but too much screen time is spent with periphery characters away from the core suspense/drama. See more Rich C @Cordu0702 04/13/2025 Absolutely LOVED this film! May be a little biased because I live in Columbus, but really enjoyed this film. Very happy I finally got to watch it. Watch it if you have a chance. See more Allan C @RT15713161 11/30/2024 An introverted 20somthing wannabe musician, Sylvie Mix, starts a podcast interviewing local bands and becomes obsessed with one singer in particular. With shades of SINGLE WHITE FEMALE, this Gen-Z stalker tale adds themes around social media and isolation in an online world. Mix is fantastic as the podcaster wannabe who essentially falls in love with the super cool singer Bobbi Kitten (played by singer Bobbi Kitten). Co-directed by Noah Dixon and Ori Segev, and written by Dixon, the film is equal parts visually arresting and fascinating character study. The pacing lags at times, but the characters are utterly fascinating, and I credit the film with leaving me not knowing how it was going to end, though it did not go full FATAL ATTRACTION, which is what I was expecting, and it's probably better for it. See more John M @MusicBoyVA 07/13/2024 Less time with the musicians. More plot needed. Nice ending. See more KB B @Okbullard 11/20/2023 It was pretty slow and plodded along. There was some interesting music but that was the highlight. Watch if there's nothing else on. See more dave d @RT34924333 05/06/2023 A film that tries to be profound, but flounders. At the core it is about a pathological liar, but a bizarre third act turn turn this into a psychological thriller for absolutely no reason. The filmmakers are so far up their own ____. What happens when you catch a pathological liar? Confrontation? Radio silence? End up dead? The reveal occurs way too early which makes the conclusion clunky to say the least. Final Score 4.6/10 See more Read all reviews
