Syd's take
This film had me skeptical at first, especially during the initial 30 minutes. I wasn't sure if I liked it or if I could connect with the main character's storyline. However, as the movie progressed, it completely won me over. The second half, in particular, raised the stakes significantly and turned me into a fan of Miss Star, the protagonist.
The film gave off a 'City Girls' vibe. It was a fun and engaging experience. I kept trying to guess the ending, only to be surprised every time.
Overall, I had a great time watching it. If you're into representing strong female characters with a focus on scheming and ambition, this movie will surely appeal to you. It's the kind of film that keeps you glued to the screen, and you won't feel the need to check your phone during it.
