What Is Frank?

Rating: 7/10 (28 February 2015)

At first sight, Frank seems like a quirky, indie movie that you don't quite know where it will end up. Once you connect with the story and the characters, I believe the comic part of the film will resonate more. Basically, this movie tells the story of a young man attempting to make it big in music. When he is brought in to an unusual band with the lead vocalist wearing a big paper head all of the time, he will not only discover his true intentions, but also affect the band in the long haul. I was mostly pleased with the story, with all it's complexities and messages. The comedy was spot on though, with the laughs coming out the right way. Don't expect a laugh out loud riot, as this is a more restrained comedy. Still Frank was an enjoyable experience and Fassbender makes the gimmick work to a very acceptable degree.
