Lower is better
Review
The movie has no propaganda spotted. The story sticks to a fan's obsession with a pop star and the dark side of fame culture. No identity politics or activist messaging appears. Homoerotic undertones in the male leads' relationship stay visible but never drive social-justice themes.
