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.

Maxwell Rabb Chicago Reader Mar 9, 2026
While the new director shows her ability to poke fun at superficiality and harness compelling emotions, her inaugural film is more patchwork than finished piece Go to Full Review
Natalia Winkelman New York Times Feb 26, 2026
The movie’s devotion to family solidarity guarantees a measure of genuine feeling. Go to Full Review
Matt Zoller Seitz RogerEbert.com Apr 1, 2025
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

Writer-director Nastasya Popov's feature debut is a hilarious and stylish satire on the modern fashion industry, with a surprising amount of heart too. Go to Full Review
Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Feb 27, 2026
More silly than substantial, this heartfelt yet predictable satire offers a lighthearted probe of intergenerational family dynamics and the elusive American Dream. Go to Full Review

TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch 22 hrs ago Idiotka is a movie that I found quite interesting at first. It initially seemed like it was going to deliver on the idea of a reality fashion show, giving this girl the opportunity she needed to become a fashion designer. Unfortunately, she never really developed anything that felt worthy of the opportunity. Most of the designs were awful, which made the fashion aspect much less interesting than it should have been. I think this movie actually had promise, but it ultimately failed on almost every note. It never really connected with me, and the story never developed into anything beyond what it started as. There were opportunities to make the competition, characters, and fashion much more engaging, but the film never took advantage of them. Overall, I wasn’t a fan of Idiotka. It had an interesting premise and enough potential to become something entertaining, but the execution just didn’t work for me. The story felt underdeveloped, and I wouldn’t recommend it.
