Film reviews trash the Weeknd’s ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ as ‘self-indulgent’ and a ‘feature-length ego-stroke’
What do you get when you put red-hot stars like the Weeknd, Barry Keoghan, Jenna Ortega, and Riley Keough in a movie together? Apparently, a "self-indulgent" mess and a "feature-length ego-stroke," say the critics — ouch.
The Weeknd (real name Abel Tesfaye) cowrote and produced the new film Hurry Up Tomorrow, which serves as a companion piece to his sixth studio album, released in January. Trey Edward Shults (Waves) directed and cowrote the Lionsgate picture, which is being described as a "musical psychological thriller." Reza Fahim (The Idol) is the third cowriter.
Hurry Up Tomorrow has a tepid 15 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and a 30 score at Metacritic, making it one of the worst-reviewed movies of 2025 so far.
