All of the Weeknd's music videos are pretty much works of art.

His sensibilities seem to align with auteurs like Trey Edward Shults and Safdie Brothers (Uncut Gems supporting role).

Well, the guy I replied to is making a valid point. It does happen a lot and it’s been going on for way too long. If you’re not a fan of The Weeknd I can see why his role in this movie’s development could come across like just another celeb looking for Hollywood money.
