Whether ‘TheIdol’ will go down in history as a misfire of high-budget misogyny or a telling depiction of the terrifying trappings of fame will likely depend on who you talk to.
Vulnerable and pliable behind her It-girl veneer, Jocelyn is played excellently by Depp on every step of the emotional scale, whether she’s sobbing at the end of an arduous video shoot or throwing her body around a nightclub in ecstasy. But in, there is always someone keen to take advantage.
When she meets Tesfaye’s character, a conniving nightclub mogul named Tedros, who spots her across the dance floor, he decides that he can make her not only a star, butstar. She falls into his asphyxiating grip, and something that feels like love to her but reads like abuse to the rest of us. Few people aside from Jocelyn’s best friend and assistant Leia, the show’s voice of reason , and her creative director Xander – seem to actually see her.
