The Idol Review

"The Idol" by Sam Levinson is a gripping and thought-provoking exploration of modern society's obsession with celebrity culture and the consequences it has on both individuals and society as a whole. Levinson's direction is bold and audacious, utilizing a mix of intense visuals, sharp dialogue, and a pulsating soundtrack to create an immersive cinematic experience.
 
The film follows the journey of a young aspiring actress who becomes entangled in the ruthless world of Hollywood. Levinson delves deep into the dark underbelly of the industry, exposing its exploitative nature and the sacrifices individuals are forced to make for fame and fortune.
 
What sets "The Idol" apart is its unflinching honesty. Levinson doesn't shy away from depicting the uglier side of fame, exploring themes of identity, self-worth, and the destructive nature of the public's insatiable appetite for scandal. The performances are exceptional, with the lead actress, Lily Rose Depp, delivering a raw and vulnerable portrayal that lingers long after the credits roll.
 
"The Idol" is a haunting and powerful film that serves as a wake-up call to our obsession with celebrity, forcing us to question the price we are willing to pay for our own desires.
 
It premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on May 22, 2023, and is set to air on HBO Max on June 4.
