Review of Frank (2014) by Patrick K — 13 May 2014
This is a pretty good well written and well acted film about a young wannabe musician Jon (Domhnall Gleeson) who discovers he's bitten off more than he can chew when he joins a band of eccentric pop musicians led by the mysterious and enigmatic Frank (Michael Fassbender) and his terrifying sidekick Clara (Maggie Gyllenhaal).
Frank's uniqueness lies in the fact that he makes music purely for the joy of creating and because he wears a giant fake head. After a rocky start, Jon ingratiates himself with the band, and they retreat to a cabin in the woods to record an album.
Michael Fassbender is becoming one of the biggest and best stars in Hollywood and it shows here as he delivered one of his finest performances.
