"This heart-wrenching and telling documentary on Jett Rebel is not just about Jelte Tuinstra’s despair, but highlights how talented musicians are seen as a brand instead of human beings. Painful, but true.
Do yourself a favour: watch the documentary."

"Hakeboom shows that an alter ego, used to get rid of the shy nature of Jelte Tuinstra, does not come without it's problems. He is overcome by doubt and self-hatred, while his star rises like a comet. Between the stage and the studio, he opens up completely in front of the camera."
