The 2 stars are for the cinematography which was beautiful, and that's literally ALL this movie has going for it. The plot is like something a first year film student would write, nothing special whatsoever, like a cop-out on the Hero's Journey only skipping half of the steps. The "creator" of the XOXO music festival comes off as creepy and like he's going to roofie the poor girl from Modern Family who needs to charge her cell phone. Then later, when his character is switched to act like a Mentor it just feels forced. You could have had the greatest direction and actors ever but the script is SO poorly written that it just couldn't be saved. Someone needs to do an EDM movie that is actually good, funny, beautiful, and get's the point! I know what XOXO was going for, but it didn't get there, and it was never going to from the start. It's really unfortunate that so much was wasted on this concept.
