A Perfectly Weird Life Lesson

Rating: 7/10 (17 January 2015)

"Frank" is the story of apiring musician Jon Burroughs, played by Domhnall Gleeson, and his life after he joins a band of beatniks. The lead singer of the band is Frank, an enigmatic man who hides behind a mask. Like Erik in "Phantom of the Opera", Frank wears the mask to hide his problems and imperfections. This story was weird, yes, but it got the point across that no matter what imperfections one may have, there will always be somebody who shares and accepts them. Frank, played by Michael Fassbender, seems to be outgoing, but at the same time struggles with himself and his imperfections. While many look up to him, he looks down on himself. Lenny Abrahamson did a great job directing this film and although it's quirky, it's a true and meaningful life lesson. I give this movie 7/10 stars.
