Several reviewers have praised the film's handling of the relationship between celebrities and fame.
William Thomas of ''Empire'' delighted in the "quirky conversations" and "almost nostalgic air" which was punctuated with "lovely high contrast black-and-white imagery and snatches of music from Mahler to doo-wop". On the other hand, he felt the film suffered from an occasional lack of focus and an uneven structure.
