Idola

About This Movie

So, 'Idola' from 2002... it’s this interesting blend of music and romance that tackles themes of idolization and skepticism towards the entertainment world. You’ve got Farah, a lawyer, and her younger sister Nana who becomes enamored with Elise, this pop singer. Farah’s mistrust of the industry adds some tension, creating this push-pull dynamic. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it kind of reflects the chaos of navigating personal ambitions versus familial bonds. The performances are decent, capturing the emotional weight without going over the top. It has a certain charm, though, especially in its portrayal of the complexity of role models and the influence they wield. Not your average romance, for sure.

Themes around idolization and trust in the entertainment industry. · Interesting pacing that mirrors emotional turmoil. · Performances convey depth without melodrama.
