As far as films about high school shootings where the survivor becomes a jesus enthused pop singer only to turn to drugs after falling for an industrial musician and then fast forwarding 20 years and she is now as alcoholic goes, this is pretty decent. Well, it looks decent, it is well acted, and has some good music, but the plot, there is nothing there. Soulless, empty, ugly, sure it has shocks but once the shock value wears off you kind of want the film to end. In a year where a Star is Born, Heavy Trip, and Bohemian Rhapsody were all released, this pales in comparison. It shows how studio music can be stressful but it also paints a stereotypical rocker chick that you'd find at a dive bar or strip club and makes you watch her story. A story that leads no where, there is no real plot, the film is pointless. She's a teen, she is shot, she becomes a singer, she's an adult, she performs, the end. Show us how she got fucked up, show us her conquer her demons, something, anything, i hated these characters.
