Review of Singles (1992) by Rob C — 02 Oct 2009
Another Cameron Crowe gem, this time in alternative/grunge era Singles. This story centers around a group of people living in the same apartment complex in Seattle. On the height of the grunge movement, it showcases even a live performance of the late Layne Staley of Alice In Chains.
Everyone, save for Clint (Matt Dillon), didn't look the part for the film. I found Clint to also be the only convincing character here. On top of his fellow bandmates of his band Citizen Dick that are in grunge heavyweights Pearl Jam.
Singles deals in love, breakup, work ethics and the thriving music scene of the early 90's. It's a Cameron Crowe film, there had to be music preferences here. Even Chris Cornell, lead singer of late Soundgarden, makes a brief cameo here.
Besides a couple of out of place characters, Singles is a great watch.
