David Lowery directs Anne Hathaway, Michaela Coel and Hunter Schafer in this drama where a pop siren revisits a ruined friendship under the pretext of creating an iconic stage costume.

Plays very much like one of those filmed plays Sidney Lumet used to churn out between bigger projects. Stilted dialogue, zero chemistry and undefined relationship don’t help. The concert scenes are beautiful. There are two memorable set pieces; a silent dance and a seance. Otherwise, frustrating and unengaging.
