The CinePearl Take
Wilson Cruz steals the spotlight, channeling the manic charisma of Alig with unsettling precision. The film’s pacing swings between documentary‑style interviews and over‑the‑top party set‑pieces, mirroring the era’s own highs and lows. While the tonal shifts can feel jarring, the underlying commentary on fame, excess, and identity remains compelling.
