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.

Matt Zoller Seitz RogerEbert.com 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. Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Stephen Saito Variety Popov delivers a boisterous tale of a woman coming into her own, told with real humor and heart. Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter 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. Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Lauren Tousignant Jezebel 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. Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Tina Kakadelis Film Obsessive Idiotka is a warmly messy film about families and the ways they hurt, inspire, and support us. 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.
