A self-destructive rock musician (Jason Behr) alienates those around him through substance abuse and odd behavior.

Carrie Rickey

Philadelphia Inquirer

A hypnotic portrait of an almost-famous artist, Shooting Livien is alert to how creation and self-destruction go hand in glove.

When the worst you can say about a director is she tried too hard... chances are you're talking about someone who will one day... blow audiences away.

Dominic was so great in this movie! I loved it! A bit confusing at times, but I pulled almost everything together in the end, haha.

Defenetly I need to edit this movie review. I saw the film for 2nd time, and now I fell in love with it. Its so magical and pure, and the message is so clear to me now: "We need to risk our life to make our dreams come true even in the hardest times of our lives". John risk it all for his mother...only to make her happy, to make himself happy, his band happy, my gosh. How much we need to risk to be famous? To be persons? To be ourselves? To get atention and love? Is to much to ask??? Its a masterpiece of a film for me. The acting was amazing. I loved how Jason acted, it was so real and so energetic. Dominic Monaghan (my idol and inspiration) did an amazing act as Owen, so wow it makes me want to cry. I enjoyed every actor even the beautiful songs, as the "Glow" song and some others I cant remember, but love them all. If their was a CD, I would buy it without thinking it twice, :) I do recomend this film.

It took me a moment to realize the depth of John Livien's psychological angst, but as the plot progressed I only grew more and more interested. Monaghan and Behr added flare to these already brilliant characters and played them very well.
