Title: Does a Good Job Evoking the Glam Rock Era But Who Cares?
Review: I vaguely recall Todd Haynes' film "Safe" from 1994; it was a strange but compelling movie starring Julianne Moore. As for this ambitious failure, it does a good job re-creating the "glam rock" era, though that's not a particularly interesting period in rock history (despite the nice costumes). But I have to admire any movie that rips off "Citizen Kane". Ewan MacGregor makes an impression as "Curt Wilde" (Iggy Pop?), but I never really got hooked by the whole story of "Brian Slade" (David Bowie?). Still, it's always a treat to see the lovely Toni Collette.
Is the review positive or negative?
