Fame (2016) is an intriguing thriller that really explores the darker side of ambition. Set against the frenetic backdrop of New York, it captures a gritty atmosphere that’s palpable. The pacing is tight, which keeps you on edge, and there's a rawness to the performances that feels authentic, almost as if you’re peeking into something real. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, adding to the film’s tension. It's distinct, certainly, in how it weaves themes of obsession and desire into a narrative that can be unsettling. The film might not break new ground, but it does carve out a space for itself in the landscape of modern thrillers, showcasing how fame can twist aspirations into something darker.
