Review of That'll Be The Day (1973) by Brandon B — 23 Feb 2013
The thing that strikes me about this movie, and to a lesser extent than its sequel, is that it seems to be built on the premise that a man's life is dramatic enough to warrant the plot's entire focus and dedication.
The rise in action ebbs and flows, but never crashes in. For me at least, there is a feeling of authenticity and peacefulness in this structure. Essex plays a man interesting enough to warrant the autobiographical feel of the film.
While not for everyone, this film is thoroughly enjoyable.
