Reception
On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, which categorizes reviews as positive or negative only, the film has an approval rating of 70% calculated based on 10 critics comments. By comparison, with the same opinions being calculated using a weighted arithmetic mean, the rating is 6,90/10.[3] In the Metacritic aggregator, which calculates the reviews using only an arithmetic weighted average from the evaluations of 6 critics who write mostly for the mainstream media, the film has a score of 56 out of 100, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[4]
Writing for The Times, Ed Potton said that "the real-life rock star Machine Gun Kelly is worryingly convincing as an obnoxious fictional rock star in this bleak showbiz parable."[5] David Ehrlich evaluated with B- on IndieWire saying that "at least it's a tale that Baker lived to tell, and refused to let anyone else tell for him."[6] Writing for Deadline, Anna Smith said that "the love-hate relationship between this bickering pair is a darkly funny and touching one that, like many scenes, offers an insight into the lives of the rich and famous".[7]
