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.

There is a version of an Indigo Girls musical that tugs on the heartstrings, makes us fall in love, and soothes us. Sadly, Glitter & Doom leaves us with fading hopes as the minutes tick away.

Rated: 4/10

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

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

As a fan of the Indigo Girls for decades, I enjoyed hearing their songs with a different take, or hearing a well known lyric dropped in as dialogue. The story was touching, okay, but I mostly liked the IG influence on the movie more than the plot. It wasn’t bad, I just probably wouldn’t have checked it out otherwise. It was unnecessarily long.

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.
