Review of Frank (2014) by Duncan1964 — 24 Mar 2015
When a young man joins an oddball band, with a lead singer who constantly wears a paper mache head, he realises they could be the next big thing - if only he can contain their weirdness and try and make them more 'likeable'.
An odd film, to say the very least, it is trying to say something about the cult of celebrity, fame and social media, but at its heart its a film about a man with serious mental health issues. Because of this the whole thing has a underlying sadness and tragedy about it which reaches its peak in an emotional finale.
A fascinating watch but ultimately borders on being voyeristic and slightly uncomfertable.
