The film was shot in New York City and tells the story of two teenage assassins, Violet and Daisy, who lead an unusual double life: pop music fans and professional hitwomen. The girls casually eliminate crime bosses around the city while being obsessed with their favorite pop idol, Barbie Sunday, and her merchandise. When a concert is canceled, they take on a new job to earn money for dresses, but their target turns out to be a terminally ill man living alone in his apartment. Instead of a routine killing, the encounter becomes a transformative experience, forcing both girls to confront deep questions about life, death, and their own identities. The film combines elements of a crime thriller with a coming-of-age narrative, featuring strong performances by Saoirse Ronan, Alexis Bledel, and James Gandolfini in one of his final roles. Filming took place in various locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn, giving the film an authentic New York City atmosphere.
