That man sitting over there in the white suit... is the biggest thing to come out of this country since sliced Beatles

I have to admit that I totally missed the whole Glam Rock experience. I spent the seventies immersed in R&B. That said, I have to say that Todd Haynes' film was absolutely fabulous and a real pleasure, both visually and aurally.
The music was excellent, and the costuming was definitely Oscar worthy.
I thought Christian Bale really nailed his part, as he always does, and Toni Collette, as Brian's (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) wife was the best I recall seeing her. Of course, Meyers made the film, and gave a look at the phenomenon that was indescribable.
I certainly always enjoy Eddie Izzard, and he was perfect as the agent who made Brian a star. Ewan McGregor as Curt Wild was amazing.
This was a real pleasurable experience and an interesting look at rock history.
