Donald C @TheDonaldWITHhair 09/18/2023 This is a hidden gem that didn't get nearly enough attention when it came out. Treat yourself to it, then buy the soundtrack!

See more 04/20/2021 I saw this in my late teens when it came out and more recently and for me it's a really good British film. It is probably of its time - the mid 80s - but I liked that time. Ok it's a bit stylised but so is the book so for me it's fair true to the source. See more 04/23/2016 Does this have an original plot and strong acting from everyone concerned? No. How did Patsy Kensit come to be known as an actess? She is utterly awful. Why is Bowie on the cover? He is only in it for about 5 or ten minutes all up and has little bearing on the story line. Plus he has a terrible American accent. His only saving grace is an amazing musical number. Look it up on You Tube and save yourself some time! How did this rate higher than Labyrinth on the tomato scale? Professional critics think it's a better movie, but Labyrinth has a cult following with its audience. Is it worth seeing? No. See more 06/30/2014 (** 1/2): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon13.gif[/img] See more 06/18/2014 El director de video-clips Julien Temple, nos presenta un musical ubicado en la Inglaterra de finales de los 50 que se aproxima a la rebeldía juvenil de la época. Los personajes son más que superficiales y la película trata de hacer algo más que un homenaje estilizado: el resultado es irregular. A veces insoportable, a veces genial, "Absolute Beginners" es una cinta de amores y de odios. See more Read all reviews
