Cry me a river

Rating: 5/10 (21 September 2019)

Movie was ok, I expected more.
I don't understand why he was so damaged - a lot of boys have absent fathers and don't end up as addicts.
Nothing was explored in any real detail. Would like to have seen his narcissism explored more as I feel this is was so angry because he didn't get the adoration from those close to him that he felt he deserved. Bernie loved him, but called him out on things, same with his mum. He had a solid upbringing as far as I could tell from the movie - father was a good provider and worked hard, mum was caring but tough.. .possibly a bit dismissive but in no way abusive, grandma was a great support, and his step father seemed like a good man and role model.
Was actually more interested in the Bernie Taupin story to be honest.
