Filly Brown Reviews
Top CriticA routine music business cautionary tale, the film shuffles its decks ever so slightly by casting a Latino actress as its lead, but doesn't do enough to shed the exasperating confines of the star-is-born genre.

More heartfelt, humanistic, and entertaining than such a clichéd showbiz cautionary tale has any right to be.
Almost despite our will, the cast keeps us invested in Filly's furious resurrection.

Unfortunately, the film is marred by a story, situations and stereotypical characters that strike all-too-familiar chords.

| Original Score: 2.5/4
A trite piece of storytelling, with character development and plot points that feel not so much lived in as borrowed from other movies.
Gina Rodriguez's magnetic star turn keeps this often overwrought film engaging, even when the script lets her down.
