'Frank (2014)' is never quite what you expect, telling its tale of misfit rockstars with just the right amount quirkiness. It's funny but it also has a really serious edge to it, dealing with difficult themes throughout. It does some interesting things with its protagonist, which I won't spoil, and is constantly engaging. Its messages are wonderfully nuanced and, in a way, antithetical to the sort of stuff the genre tends to peddle. It's an odd film, for sure, but it's entertaining and has something important to say. 7/10
