“4 stars - A fascinating film”
— The Telegraph
“This documentary, about a schoolgirl from the Isle of Man who became a Japanese “moe idol” by dancing on YouTube is so bizarre and stylised that it could easily be a spoof.”
— The Guardian
“Fascinating and disturbing”
— The Guardian
“This is a thought provoking film. Less about the engaging and level-headed Beckii, and more about the transformative power of the internet.”
