Reception
Chris Azzopardi of The New York Times wrote, "This film about Kid Cudi is that rare musician-focused documentary, one as sensitive, fully formed and noble in its intentions as the artist himself."[4]
Jude Dry of IndieWire wrote that the film "rightfully highlights Cudi's contribution to culture as an emotional truth teller," but added that it "lacks the artistic vision of Cudi's musical talents, despite its best efforts."[5]
Lovia Gyarkye of The Hollywood Reporter commented on how the film's ending would “start to feel like forced attempts at profundity, as if Cudi's testimony alone hasn't always been enough.”[6]
