It was released on Amazon Prime Video on November 5, 2021. The title of the film, which is reminiscent of Cudi's 2008 breakout mixtape 'A Kid Named Cudi', is borrowed from his scrapped 2011 mixtape of the same name. SummaryThe film follows the career of Kid Cudi (born Scott Mescudi), beginning with the release of his influential 2009 debut album 'Man on the Moon: The End of Day', which featured songs that dealt with depression, anxiety and loneliness. The film explores his creative process over the past decade, as well as his struggles and breakthroughs.

The film was released on Prime Video on November 5, 2021. ReceptionChris Azzopardi of 'The New York Times' wrote, "This film about Kid Cudi is that rare musician-focused documentary, one as sensitive, fully formed and noble in its intentions as the artist himself." Jude Dry of 'IndieWire' wrote that the film "rightfully highlights Cudi's contribution to culture as an emotional truth teller," but added that it "lacks the artistic vision of Cudi's musical talents, despite its best efforts." Lovia Gyarkye of 'The Hollywood Reporter' commented on how the film's ending would start to feel like forced attempts at profundity, as if Cudi's testimony alone hasn't always been enough.
