artistic and exciting, god i think this movie is what most inspired me recently as an artist and there isn’t even painting involved.
A passionate tribute to the glam rock era. The overall film is a bit of a mess, but it makes up for it in style. Toni Collette is wonderful.
Extremely visually compelling, great costuming and set design. Casting is spot on, an anonymous look into a controversial glam rock world!
A story of messy love told through a collection of music videos and visually dazzling sequences. Surprised this one didn't stick around more
Endlessly fun and creative, with the use of fascinating storytelling devices. This movie has stuck with me for a very long time
Good but not great fictional story about glam rock—stars, fans, & lifestyle. Decently entertaining film, even better soundtrack.
Amazing performances (and performance is everything, as this film shows). Glam rock days are cool af.
Complex and weirdly dark, but beautiful. Amazing chemistry in the cast, and great music.
Has anyone else seen this movie? It's pretty rad.
Not sure why, but I watched this movie 100 times. Love the music, the colors, the references, the story. Favorite!
