Loosely based on David Bowie, even if the film makers aren't allowed to admit it. The film captures the 70's glam rock era perfectly with great songs and fantastic visuals.

First of all, I like David Bowie - and the story is kind of based on his life. Second of all, I like the cast: Jonathan Rhys Meyers AND Ewan McGregor - absolute perfect. Then, there is a lot of Glam Rock, which is not quite my favourite music, but it's entertaining. And the best: My absolute favourite band of all time placebo appears in it!

Obi-Wan & Batman have some 'Chap-on-chap' sex on a rooftop!

What more do you need to know!?

@Camdun_Roar: Like Citizen Kane for David Bowie (if the journalist idolized Kane, made out with him and if there was a spaceship) 6.5/10

A thoroughly entertaining, but ultimately confused film which doesn't really seem to know where it wants to go or what it wants to achieve. I think the film wants to explore identity against the backdrop of glam rock in the seventies. And while it includes a number of of fantastic performances from the young cast at the time, the narrative just feels a little all over the place. Todd Haynes' 'Far From Heaven' is much more accomplished in the exploration of identity, so in that sense it's nice to see his progression as a filmmaker. Haynes' direction is still excellent, as is the costume design and all of the huge glitz and glam of the music scene - I just can't help but feel a slightly tighter structure, or a clearer objective, could've propelled this to something much greater.

This movie exists? After hearing one of my roommates talk about this film for months, I finally saw it. Outstanding performances, crazy wardrobe. Really brilliant performances. It's a lot of fun.

Everything about this film is disappointing.

A fanfiction where a young David Bowie (Johnathan Rhys-Meyers) has lots of sex with Kurt Cobain (Ewan McGregor). And then the classic closeted homosexual, angst-ridden self-based character (Christian Bale) steals Kurt away and the have drunken buttsecks on top of a roof. Almost worth it because it's so ridiculous.

Um brilhante retrato de um movimento cultural. A cadência do roteiro estabelece muito bem a decadência do movimento, enquanto a direção opta por retratar cada período com um tom diferente. Brilhante trabalho de fotografia, direção de arte e figurino, ao estabelecer bem a diferença entre o passado glorioso e o presente sombrio.
