January 13, 2026 by Amie Cranswick

The film sees an obsessive teenage superfan discover that her rock star idol is a dysfunctional drug addict, and makes it her mission to help him, only for the situation to spiral of control when she kidnaps him.

The cast includes Kate Hallett, Herman Tømmeraas, Aya Furukawa, Justin Chatwin, Steven Ogg, and Amanda Brugel. Watch the trailer below…

When a superfan learns that her rock star idol is spiraling into addiction, she makes it her mission to save him, whether he wants her help or not. But when her desperate plan spirals out of control, she kidnaps him in a delusional attempt to “fix” him. What begins as compassion turns into captivity, as she locks him away in the name of love.

Sweetness arrives on digital on February 13th.
