This film is a real trip. It gives a lot of insight into gen z and the whole social media influencer / art world/ vibe. It's also so much about LA and also NYC. I loved it. I love the scenery and the acting was awesome. Ty is so talented. Olivia is actually hilarious and super cute. And Tracy Lysette is a legit G.
