In this sharp, irreverent comedy, a disgraced fashion designer with a dangerously low credit score, Margarita (Anna Baryshnikov) enters a reality show with a six-figure cash prize to save her babushka's West Hollywood apartment. But as the competition intensifies, slick producer Nicol (Camila Mendes) pushes her to spin her family's struggle into spectacle, forcing Margarita to decide whether to play along or take control of her own narrative, one unhinged look at a time.

Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Glenn Garner Deadline Hollywood Daily Popov’s directorial debut captures a beautifully messy portrait of a new generation of immigrants, turning generations of pain and trauma into something beautiful while changing the narrative in a country that still lets you do that.
