2 hours of pointlessness

Rating: 1/10 (14 January 2008)

I had so looked forward to seeing this movie. Despite feeling that it is a marriage from hell every time actors get to act musicians. They just can't do it. I have never understood why, perhaps it's got to do with the total lack of understanding that music is not theatre, even when the musicians are being theatrical... This film is almost laughable from that perspective. But that aside there is something even worse, being that it leaves you a feeling of emptiness. Like it's not worthless but pointless.
If you want to see a movie about a musician choose Control by Anton Corbijn. It is all that I'm not there is not.
