Abel Tesfaye's film, "Hurry Up Tomorrow," is portrayed as a love letter to his fans, yet it largely reflects the singer's self-indulgence and vanity. Co-written and co-produced by Tesfaye, the film blurs the line between autobiography and fantasy as it follows a troubled musician named Abel who grapples with personal and professional turmoil. While praised by co-producer Jenna Ortega and director Trey Edward Shults for its artistic aspirations, the film ultimately struggles to resonate on a deeper level, serving more as a platform for Tesfaye's persona than a compelling narrative.
Tesfaye's film "Hurry Up Tomorrow" serves as a self-indulgent love letter to fans but ultimately showcases his tedious self-regard rather than impactful storytelling.
Director Trey Edward Shults describes the film as a hallucinatory, poetic autobiography meant to resonate with the soul and impact of an opera.
While Jenna Ortega praises Tesfaye's professionalism and kindness, the film fails to provide a foundation strong enough to support its operatic aspirations.
The narrative explores themes of existential angst and addiction, but ultimately leaves viewers unconvinced by its portrayal of a troubled music star's struggles.
