A glam rock "Citizen Kane," extremely good looking and very entertaining. Filled with much enthusiasm about alternative sexuality and transgressive art, it often becomes confused in its themes. But Todd Haynes is a poet with this camera, and makes it all worth it in the end.

I Dont Know What To Think Of This Movie

I can never remember the title of the movie, but the lighting is brilliant.

POP ate my hert

You want this movie to be better than it is. In the end, it's a total incoherent mess. It's a fun mess though, despite the nonsensical plot.

Very cool film. A Citizen Kane rock 'n' roll story of straight sex and gay sex and excess played out with an awesome glam visual aesthetic. It's strung together by good music and Bowie-esque music videos to go along with them.

"Haynes loses any semblance to a story in a scattershot movie that seems to be more concerned with its appearance, poses, costumes, music and attitude than a coherent plot."

Postmodern bisexual ribaldry that devolves into a disappointing waste of potential. Rhys Meyers is androgynous, sure, but he brings nothing to the role that couldn't have been done by a vacuous model. Only McGregor and Izzard possess the energy that was needed to make this project work, in the face of a fractured narrative that fails to cohere as a tribute or a parody. In the end, all this will be remembered for is a scene where Obi-Wan fucks Batman while a flying saucer drops glitter on them.

This film tries way too hard to be cutting edge and original and as a result it's just a forgettable, predictable rock musical. It's not a bad film though, but I don't understand what good was the whole Citizen Kane approach. They should have just done the true story of Iggy & Bowie which would have been way more awesome anyways.

Here's looking at you kid.!
