Review of Beyond the Lights

I have been wanting to see this since seeing the trailer. I like a good music drama. The cast looks awesome. I always find it intriguing when a rapper or singer takes on acting. When I saw Machine Gun Kelly listed amongst the cast I wondered how it would work out. When I saw him he was basically playing a fictional version of himself and doesn't really have much screen time outside of the music video scenes. I have to say Minnie Driver plays such a disgusting despicable mother. She cares more about getting money and fame than how her daughter is treated and feels. The sad thing is this is sadly quite realistic. I think this was quite underrated. The acting is really great and I enjoyed the characters. I liked the music as well. Specifically the two main songs "Masterpiece" and "Blackbird". I think this also portrayed what seems like what might go through a lot of famous peoples minds and lives. We don't understand that people who have "everything" could be the same as us. Everyone has a breaking point and it is not easy to be truly happy for everyone. Anyways it may not be a hit for everyone, but it hit for me as in some ways I felt this one spoke to me.
