'Hurry Up Tomorrow' Review: An Electric Jenna Ortega Gets Lost in The Weeknd’s Feature-Length Music Video

Abel "The Weeknd" Tesfaye has yet again been busy. As the singer prepares to leave his stage name behind, he's dropping a mind-bending new thriller, Hurry Up Tomorrow, timed to the release of his sixth album of the same name. The film, directed by Waves and It Comes at Night filmmaker, Trey Edward Shults, from a script by Shults, Tesfaye, and The Idol co-writer RezaFahim, is the latest multimedia tie-in to his musical career following projects like the aforementioned The Idol series and his Halloween Horror Nights tie-in After Hours Nightmare. It boasts a strong performance from Tesfaye alongside an excellent one from co-star Jenna Ortega. At the same time, the underwritten script takes too long to get anywhere exciting, and it never stops feeling like a sidecar to the album instead of a standalone feature film.
