About Hurry Up Tomorrow
An insomniac musician sits at the edge of sleep and a fast life in the spotlight. Haunted by wakefulness, he is drawn into a strange encounter that begins to chip away at the foundations of who he is. The figure he meets is unsettling, an enigmatic presence who seems to know too much about his art and his doubts. As nights blur into daylight, the line between reality and illusion grows thin, and the musician must decide what he is willing to risk for meaning, power, and a sense of control. The film leans into mood, texture, and sound to probe identity under pressure.
Directed by Trey Edward Shults, the film stars The Weeknd as the unnamed musician and Jenna Ortega as Anima, with Reza Fahim producing, blending his tense sensibility with a music driven thriller style. The budget sits around 15 million.
Reception is mixed with audiences giving the film about a 5.1 average from 142 votes. Critics note the atmospheric sound design and the willingness to push abstract storytelling. Key themes include sleep deprivation, creative pressure, identity and the cost of fame.
What Viewers Are Saying
Ortega is the clear standout, delivering a solid turn even as the film flirts with a split viewpoint that makes the early sections feel like two different movies. Barry Keoghan shows up as a memorable presence only toward the end, and The Weeknd's soundtrack underscores the mood while the pop star arc and his obsessive manager play out as a wearying cycle. Most viewers feel it's overstyled and muddled, leaning on visuals and ego rather than a clear through line, with earnest performances that barely lift the overall mess.
