Not relatable in 2018

Rating: 7/10 (13 October 2018)

A frustrating long story about an alcoholic old man who seduces a young girl who, trough the power of sex, becomes a pop star. American dream, I suppose... Despite the stunning performances characters feel shallow and lacking in depth. I found it impossible to sympathize with any of the characters to a point where even the suicide scene (which was foreshafowed many times first being 10mins. in the show...) felt rushed and cliche.
I don't see a single way how the messages this movie tried to convey could resonate with the audiences in 2018. The male ego, dieing fame of the husband who's wife's career is blooming, depression, alcoholism, giref and many more topics could have been explored but the audiences are being fed the idealiztion of toxic relationship.
Putting this asside, music was the key element which made me feel better for wasting money on a ticket. So at least that.
