A Truly Original and Uplifting Film on Music, or Art in general.

Rating: 7/10 (16 October 2014)

Lenny Abrahamson's quirky and offbeat comedy-drama 'Frank' is a delightful study of artists and their influences. The story is essentially about self-discovery, finding inspiration in the nature (environment) around, finding the unique form of art that comes from within us. It also shows how people quite often get influenced by public opinion and get pressured to modify their art to cater to the masses, and end up losing their charm; it might bring in fame and money for a while, but making the art one wants is much more satisfying in the long run.
All the characters are quite fascinating and amusing, especially the enigmatic and free-spirited Frank and the hilariously hot-tempered Clara, played by Michael Fassbender and Maggie Gyllenhaal respectively.
The movie is filled with many amusing, heart-warming, and inspiring moments. I don't want to completely spoil much, so I'll just say, I really loved the song Frank sings in the last scene; catchy rhythm, hilarious lyrics, and really heartfelt.
A truly original and uplifting film on music, or art in general.
