Miley Cyrus is truly an icon. This documentary captures not just her music, but her artistry, presence, and power. The visuals were glamorous, pure diva energy, and every moment reminded me why she's one of the greatest performers of our time. What I loved most is that it's not only about putting on a show it's the full package: raw talent, emotion, and star power.
Unknown Number is a disturbing documentary that left me feeling unsettled and divided. At its core, the story is about a mother who comes across as a psycho, a pathological liar, and someone who hides behind mental illness as an excuse for her behavior. Most shocking of all, she is entangled in her daughter's personal life in deeply inappropriate ways being in love with her daughter's ex-boyfriend. The daughter, meanwhile, seems trapped in a situation that almost resembles Stockholm Syndrome.
What makes this documentary so hard to process is the contradiction: the person who's supposed to give you unconditional love and support the mother becomes the one sending cruel, cyberbullying messages that encourage her own daughter to harm herself. Yes, she struggles with mental illness, but the film never makes me feel like she's truly sorry for what she did. That lack of genuine remorse is what lingers and makes the viewing experience so unsettling.
The structure of the documentary itself is split in two. The first half dives into the messy drama: Lauren, Owen, Chloe, the students, the boyfriends, the Halloween parties, and all of that social chaos. The second half shifts toward trying to give moral weight or sympathy to the mother's perspective. For me, this part didn't land. Even if the traumatic experiences she talks about are true and given her pathological lying, it's hard to know those experiences don't excuse what she did.
From a filmmaking perspective, I also found the runtime a bit too long. Since I'd already seen spoilers on TikTok, I knew the mother was behind it before even starting the documentary. That hurt the mystery element. In today's digital age, where cases like this get dissected online, the "whodunit" aspect feels outdated. Personally, I think a stronger creative choice would have been to reveal upfront that the mother did it, and then spend the rest of the documentary exploring how investigators uncovered the truth and the disturbing depth of her actions. That approach might have kept it more engaging, especially for viewers who already knew the case.
Overall, while Unknown Number raises important questions about trust, family, and mental health, I walked away feeling more sickened than enlightened. It's a documentary that unsettles you but not always for the right reasons. For me, it lands at a 6 out of 10.

I freaking loved this movie. Space Cadet made me laugh my ass off and it made me cry. Emma Roberts is incredible here she can do it all: drama, comedy, romance. She really carries this film, and as Rex Simmons she feels so real and relatable. Honestly, no notes. It's her movie, and it shows. Congratulations to her.
The supporting cast is also fantastic. Poppy Liu is hilarious and the perfect side character every scene she's in adds so much. Tom Hopper? Sexy as ever, no further explanation needed. And the whole ensemble works really well together, creating something fun and heartfelt at the same time.
What I loved the most, though, was the message: never give up on your dreams. Dream big. It's never too late to follow your passion. That really hit me in a deep way, and I think it will for a lot of people.
I actually watched it with my mom, and it was the perfect choice we were laughing, hugging, and just having the best time. It's a great movie to share with someone you love.
One interesting thing: Sebastian Yatra pops up, which I honestly found a little random, but hey it didn't take away from the story. If anything, it just added to the fun.
I hope this movie gets a sequel, or even better, a TV series on Prime. I want to see more of Rex Simmons and her journey. Space Cadet is funny, emotional, and uplifting. Truly, a lovely movie.
