Film Review – Corey Feldman vs. the World

Nearly ten years ago, director Marcie Hume went on an adventure. Hired to capture the world of actor Corey Feldman, Hume was offered access to the subject’s life at a moment when his quest to become a music sensation was challenged by nationwide exposure to his actual gifts. In 2016, Feldman performed on the “Today” show with his band, Corey’s Angels, and it didn’t go well, but in his mind, all the publicity surrounding the appearance was a divine sign to keep going, to maintain the hunt for media supremacy, and doing so while surrounded by half-naked women playing their instruments. Hume was handed intimate access to the ensuing tour, and “Corey Feldman vs. the World” offers a look into an ego-heavy existence that almost defies description.
