Kill Your Friends

Mistakenly thinks a lot of profanity, ugliness and bloodshed [...] are, in and of themselves, enough to sustain a satire about showbiz ruthlessness.

Everyone is horrible all the time-so when they do horrible things to each other, the result is a chuckle rather than a vicious bite. The music business is cutthroat, we get it.

"Kill Your Friends" goes to some ugly places, but it keeps a sturdy sense of rhythm.

A thankless experience that doesn't have much to say beyond the way it chooses to communicate its message.
