One of the worst films I've ever seen!

Rating: 2/10 (7 June 2000)

Aside from the cinematography and some of the performances; this was a horrible excruciating film revolving around the Glam rock era.
The first thing I noticed was the 'Citizen Kane' style motif used in explaining the narrative, which was not as cleverly executed as it was in Kane. The storyline was barely convincing especially with Bale remembering his association with 'Glam' in his teenage years. The film really wasted the talents of McGregor and Bale. I couldn't even follow this film, it was confusing and self absorbed. What was the point of it all?
If you're a huge fan of the Glam period, see it! Although it is fiction, I don't know if it accurately represents the time (to me it seemed farcical!). I've read a lot of good reviews but it fathoms me how anyone could possibly enjoy this over-stylised irritatingly long film. * out of *****!
