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.

A game cast can’t quite put this one over the top, though there are acidic bits of observation about the way people in that industry talk about themselves, and to each other. Go to Full Review Stephen Saito Variety Mar 20
Popov delivers a boisterous tale of a woman coming into her own, told with real humor and heart. Go to Full Review Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter Mar 14
The feature debut by writer-director Nastasya Popov is certainly messy, a mélange of contrasting tones and contradictory ideas. But darned if it isn’t bursting with enough personality to charm you all the same. Go to Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Hammer to Nail Nov 11
Beyond the strong performances, the best parts of the film, in terms of hearty laughs, are the scenes devoted to lampooning the utter vacuousness of much of our modern influencer culture. Go to Full Review Lauren Tousignant Jezebel Mar 21
Above all else, Idiotka [is] brimmed with love and humor, thanks to Galina Jovovich’s performance as Margarita’s grandmother, Gita Levlansky—the heart and soul of the whole film. Go to Full Review Tina Kakadelis Film Obsessive Mar 18
