Title: All That Glitters is Not Gold
Review: As an Artist, Filmmaker, and music fan who experienced Glitter (now called Glam) Rock firsthand, I was greatly disappointed. The film is not intended to be historically accurate, and that is the only thing good that can be said- it achieved a great level of inaccuracy. The Bowie and Pop characters are so thinly veiled that they become parodies rather than representations of the time. Trust me folks- Glitter was not this shallow. The acting is wooden, the representation of the era laughable, and the original music for the film was horrible. The only good thing I can say about this film is that it used many Eno, Roxy, Pop and Reed songs. Forget Velvet Goldmine- buy the original albums.
Is the review positive or negative?
