The Weeknd's first feature film is a surrealist vanity project, writes Associated Press Music Writer Maria Sherman. “Hurry Up Tomorrow” features the musician playing a fictionalized version of himself. He's marred by a hedonistic lifestyle and recent breakup. Woven throughout is some conversation about absent fathers and fear of abandonment, with unearned delivery and first-draft acuity. The movie is a vanity project with surrealist imagination but few stakes, limited emotional weight and an unclear narrative. It is for superfans and The Weeknd alone.
