    Frankly, my dear
  

*by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2016*

It helps to have a sort of quirky sense of humor, or a fondness for Jon Ronson's books, to enjoy this film. (Actually, it helps to have a quirky sense of humor to enjoy Ronson's books--and I do.) I have both, so I really liked this movie.My husband, daughter, and son-in-law, on the other hand, were more perplexed than amused . The jokes, the pathos, the music--especially the epic last song--left them cold. They kept sneaking sidelong glances at me as if wondering why I was so keen on this movie.I liked it because it was about marginal characters making a marginal living off the kind of music that might be described, generously, as "difficult." It's their dedication to their art, and their fierce insistence on doing it their way, that makes them so compelling to watch. Frank Sidebottom wears a giant papier-maché head with a painted-on cartoon face, but he's not doing it to get cheap laughs--he is serious about his alter ego and careful to avoid doing anything that might seem out of character. His band mates are just as serious about creating and maintaining the alternative reality in which Frank lives and writes and sings and plays--right up until the day they acquire a new keyboardist, who  thinks they should set their sights higher than playing random gigs for a few hundred devoted fans.Taking Frank mainstream turns out pretty much as you might expect. But the story has a happy, if puzzling, ending. I liked it. And if you are reasonably tolerant of ambiguity, you will like this movie, too.

Good book. Not really one of my favourite Ronson books but it's still fun. Can't wait to see how it translates to the big screen.

    Short and sweet

I can't wait to see this movie. It's a story about "marginals" for "marginals," and any one else...even you "normals."
