In this sharp, irreverent comedy, a disgraced fashion designer with a dangerously low credit score, Margarita (Anna Baryshnikov) enters a reality show with a six-figure cash prize to save her babushka's West Hollywood apartment. But as the competition intensifies, slick producer Nicol (Camila Mendes) pushes her to spin her family's struggle into spectacle, forcing Margarita to decide whether to play along or take control of her own narrative, one unhinged look at a time.

Stephen Saito Variety Mar 20
Popov delivers a boisterous tale of a woman coming into her own, told with real humor and heart. Go to Full Review
Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter Mar 14
The feature debut by writer-director Nastasya Popov is certainly messy, a mélange of contrasting tones and contradictory ideas. But darned if it isn’t bursting with enough personality to charm you all the same. Go to Full Review
Edward Douglas The Weekend Warrior (Substack) 10h
4.5/10
An attempted comedy filled with the shallowest of characters and flimsiest of storytelling that never really takes off or gets to where it hopes to go. Go to Full Review
Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 1d
An offbeat and mildly amusing satire that's not biting or funny enough and bites off more than it could chew. Go to Full Review
Christopher Llewellyn Reed Hammer to Nail Nov 11
Beyond the strong performances, the best parts of the film, in terms of hearty laughs, are the scenes devoted to lampooning the utter vacuousness of much of our modern influencer culture. Go to Full Review
