It's a review. So what?

Rating: Null/10 (4 October 2014)

I love this movie, it's one of the best rock biopic's I've seen. I admire the deft touch with which Floria Sigismondi directed this movie. I like this director and hope she makes more movies. The film reminded me of how much I always loved this band, even though I cottoned on to them long after they'd split.
Great casting and great performances which really captured the zeitgeist. Moreover, and this is really the most important aspect of the story – it successfully informs the importance of these womens' role in breaking down barriers and expectations of women in rock music and really paved the way for the female rock musicians that came after. And let's not forget Kim Fowley's insight and vision that played a big part in that. Rogue perhaps but this guy had a feel for true grit.
This movie made me remember why I fell in love with Lita, Joan and Cherie in the first place. And the actors that played them couldn't have done a better job. Kristen and Dakota are exemplary. Special mention for art direction, costume and make-up and great cinematography.
