Fantastic!

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2003)

I'm so sick of seeing negative reviews for this film! I rented it last month and it is a brilliant film. I loved every moment of it.
The actors portyrals were on spot, and the cast itself was masterfully picked. Ewan McGregor, as the drugged-out rocker Curt Wild, and Jonathon Rhys-Meyers, as the glitter-covered Brian Slade aka Maxwell Demon, light up the screen. Toni Collette as Mandy Slade nails the transplanted American in 1970's London. Christian Bale personally blew me away as Arthur Stewart. Excellent. And Eddie Izzard as Jerry Devine was a fine choice. Perfect for the ambitious agent.
The music, itself, really drives the film. Covers abound throughout and are wonderfully done.
Honestly, I can't say enough good things about this movie and I highly reccommend it.
I bow down to you, Todd Haynes, for bringing us such a wonderful, moving film.
