7 Reality Queen!

Metacritic's Official Worst Movie of 2020.

(#1) Praised for its "basic technical competence" by Variety and counting Denise Richards and Mike Tyson among its stars, Queen is a mockumentary satire of reality TV celebrities that comes from eight (!) credited writers and first-time director Steven Jay Bernheim. The film sat on the shelf for three years until finally emerging in early January, where it quickly seized the title of 2020's worst-reviewed film and never let it go over the ensuing 12 months.

“While Reality Queen! seeks to parody contemporary culture, the irony here is that it is the very vapid thing it mocks.” —Josh Kupecki, The Austin Chronicle
