A Bit Mottled...

Rating: 6/10 (31 May 2019)

While the acting and singing were excellent, I was confused as to if this was supposed to be a movie with music or a musical.
Overall, it was a very stark and interesting story. I give EJ great credit for producing a movie that showed himself "warts and all." That was probably cathartic, but still painful.
My wife loved it, I was of the "take it our leave it" mindset.
The costuming was FANTASTIC, better than the original outfits. I was surprised that an extended sequence used the song Pinball Wizard by the Who, instead of some other piece by EJ. Yes, I am fully aware of EJ's role in Tommy. I just thought that they could have chosen an EJ piece for the sequence.
So, while I wouldn't say "rush out and see it." It is better than a lot of the other films.
