In the dizzying, algorithm-driven world of viral fame, a young woman named Frankie, played by Maya Hawke, feels invisible while working a dead-end bar job in Los Angeles. Her life takes a surreal turn when she and her friend Nat Wolff encounter a charismatic and enigmatic stranger named Link, brought to life with frenetic energy by Andrew Garfield. Seeing his raw, anarchic potential, Frankie becomes Link's manager, catapulting him into internet superstardom with a dangerously provocative persona. As their DIY channel explodes, blurring the lines between performance and reality, Frankie must grapple with the monstrous creation she helped unleash. Directed by Gia Coppola, this sharp and stylish dramedy explores the Faustian bargain of modern celebrity, questioning the cost of authenticity in a culture obsessed with clicks, where co-stars like Jason Schwartzman and Johnny Knoxville populate the chaotic edges of Link's manufactured universe.
