At first it seemed to be a glorified documentary about the new sensation in music, the usual story from rags to riches and other cliches. But then it takes an interesting turn, delving deeper into the very young artist, Kid Laroi, who attempts to make sense of his rapid success as the world spins frantically around his creative orbit of life.
Kid Laroi's family are on this journey, and wished the documentary spent more time with the parents who seemed to be interesting enough. It barely touches on the father/mother and son relationship, which could have explained a lot about Laroi's current state of being. Maybe the documentary makers lacked the depth and knowledge of weaving this aspect into the story without taking too much away from Laroi.
What I had to keep reminding myself was that this is a very young person who will mature and have many changes in life - if he allows it to, and hopefully the record company and the fans will also allow and accept those change, both in Kid Laroi's music and life itself. The documentary does succeed in revealing the changes in Laroi's life from a young teenager (great archival footage) to early adulthood. But the real test is now, as this stellar star will continue to shine into the next phase of adulthood, not in his profession, but in life itself.
