Review of Frank (2014) by Sean C — 23 Aug 2014

Here is one of the oddest movies that's based on reality to come out in a long time. "Frank" is a fictional story about the real life british pop/rock start Frank Sidebottom. He's a singer, who sings some messed up and weird songs, while wearing a big fiberglass head 24/7.

Michael Fassbender plays Frank, and he is fantastic. That guy is one of the best actors. Even with a mask on the entire movie, he still conveys so much. The story is told through the eyes on Jon(Domhnall Gleeson) who joins Frank's bad and admires Frank for the artist he is, yet wants to make his own music.

There are some very funny parts in this movie, but when it shifts to the dramatic side, it's a little flat. Towards the end it almost becomes a completely different movie that I just didn't care about.

Whenever Frank is on the screen, it's good. When he isn't, it's just "meh". This will either be a cult classic in a few years, or one of those odd movies that people just forget about completely.

Check it out if you want something different, with some music that is insane. Or just youtube Frank Sidebottom, because the reality is even weirder than the fiction,.
