The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp in The Idol (2023)

Review by dmanmotherf

The Idol

7/10

Lars Von Trier meets Euphoria

I think this show gets a bad wrap because people expect it to be more like Euphoria when its closer to a Lars Von Trier movie. People I've read reviews of usually say its a male fantasy and its disgusting, but in reality its meant to be disturbing and it was just badly marketed. I think people heard creator of Euphoria and The Weekend and thought it was a sexy show with some dark sides as opposed to a show that was meant to be intentionally disturbing and uncomfortable. I believe a lot of the writing is intentionally disgusting along with the acting. I honestly think people have a bad view of individuals if they think the show is trying to be sexy considering how emotionally disturbed and manipulative people are being. Make no mistake, this is a show about abuse over fame, more of a horror than a drama. If you're into difficult and disturbing cinema with great cinematography, this is your speed. If not, I'm sorry it was marketed incorrectly to you.
