""My body was telling me to sit down. It was telling me, 'you have nothing else to say.'""
"Hurry Up Tomorrow revels in Tesfaye's pop star-coded anguish, relying on a perpetually spinning camera and blindsiding strobe effects."
In "Hurry Up Tomorrow," The Weeknd, also known as Abel Tesfaye, confronts an existential crisis after losing his voice during a concert, pushing him to rethink his identity and career. Co-written with director Trey Edward Shults, the film serves as a farewell to his R&B persona, showcasing Tesfaye's struggles with fame, substance abuse, and personal demons. However, despite some intriguing visuals and emotional depth, the film fails to deliver a compelling narrative or showcase his new music effectively, leaving viewers with a lack of urgency and engagement.
