Review of Almost Famous (2000) by Steven C — 26 Feb 2011
"Almost Famous" is a lovingly crafted portrait of music, love and the 1970s. Nuanced work from the entire cast and including a show stealing Kate Hudson. Patrick Fugit is great at capturing the innocence and wonder of a boy who fell into his dream by accident.
Cameron Crowe's film is was of the best films from the year 2000 and one of the best coming of age films from that decade. How can anyone deny the poetry of this great story told with such grace. (On a side note, there are two versions of this film, the 120 minute theatrical version, which simplifies the story and the 160 minute 'bootleg cut' which runs entirely too long.
Neither is totally satisfying but when taken as a whole, it's a lovely story.).
