Oscar worthy but too real for Hollywood ?

Rating: 9/10 (27 February 2011)

This movie had great writing, great acting,a moving story line and for a period piece projected you right into the 70's underbelly of rock n roll......
I think Oscar missed the boat on this great film. Perhaps it was a tad too real and needed to be some comedic farce.
The elite of holly wood don't tend to look outside the box unless the bottom line pads their pockets. Too bad really because this gem is right up there with Whip it for great directing, top notch role players and getting it right as far as cast to movie production.
For me personally the best way I can describe a film is I buy it watch it and if it's really good I listen to the commentary and special features. I don't waste my time on a film not worthy watching a second , third, fourth time. This film deserves your attention .
