In a fantastical summer romance set to the iconic hits of the Grammy Award-winning, trailblazing Indigo Girls, GLITTER & DOOM follows the love-at-first-sight connection between carefree circus performer Glitter (Filipino star Alex Diaz) and struggling musician Doom (UK newcomer Alan Cammish). An undeniable spark throws them into a summer of camping trips, late-night conversations, and innovative song-and-dance numbers -- until the real world comes calling. Their relationship is put to the test as Doom confronts the realities of finding success in the music industry and Glitter has an opportunity to run away to Paris as a circus performer. Glitter and Doom struggle to make sense of their whirlwind summer while staying true to themselves and pursuing their dreams.

The architecture of the film is so rickety there's nothing to hold onto. Just sit back and ride the waves of the music.

Rated: 2/4

These two hours feel long because you never once doubt that things will coalesce in the end.

It’s hard to walk away without thinking that another script pass might have made this musical journey closer to fine.

"Glitter & Doom" attempts to take the jukebox movie musical to new heights. Unfortunately, it just keeps getting in its own way.

Rated: C

Glitter & Doom will likely feel especially meaningful for queer viewers in terms of having a romantic film that caters to them specifically.

Shadows on the Wall

An almost effortlessly charming vibe that sparks brightly even before the fireworks go off. So while the narrative feels a bit over-stretched, it still wins us over.

Rated: 4/5

Great gem for fans of the band. Equally fun for people looking for a queer romance.

We loved this quirky romance with a soundtrack that lifts it so high. So glad it will be able to become a hit online.

We left after about 25 minutes, which is rare for us. The characters were annoying. No empathy was established for the two leads, so we didn't care what happened to them.

Let yourself get sucked into this universe about two very honest characters grappling with things we know too well, like fear of failure, insecurity and how much to let people in. Their sincerity is crisp amidst a colorful, musical, sometimes surreal world of dancers and musicians in gorgeous costumes. There are layers of special effects that you should not try to compare with Hollywood CGI. This is a movie made from the heart that will warm your heart and make you feel less alone. And if you are an Indigo Girls fan, boy are you in for a treat!!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

As a queer person myself, I guess I have to respect that this movie managed to get made? But to be honest, it was an effort not to leave the theater early.
