Michael O @Ozoni Jul 13 I am reviewing this from a different set of eyes. My real life brother is portrayed by Marc Maron sort of as an uncouth loser...so far from the truth. I am portrayed in the movie by Gord Rand. At the dinner table, Gord Rand/ichael Oberman asks Bowie, "Are you a novelty act?' In real life I never said that or thought it. Bowie and Ron Oberman traveling across the US in Ron's beat up station wagon...NEVER happened. The filmmakers had the opportunity to talk to me before filming began...they didn't. The true story of David Bowie's January 1971 trip to the US would make a great film. The phony story in this film equals a pretty bad film.

See more Dylan C @RT07325803 02/09/2024 NO No no!!!!!! this is the worst film of the year of the decade and of all time why they would make a david bowie movie that is boring when he and his music were not. See more Ravenswood R @RT16435246 12/13/2023 A waste of space oddity that should have been shelved and never released. The story concerns David Bowie being influenced by contemporary culture and his older half brother being schizophrenic to become Ziggy Stardust. The portrayal of mental illness and the fact that it can run in families so upset Duncan Jones and crazy Angie Bowie that they would not allow any Bowie music to be used in the film. It is a mess. The characterization of Bowie as a slow to catch on, clueless weirdo is unwelcome and not accurate. Marc Maron acts exactly like Marc Maron, and all the rock journalists are portrayed as egotistical gatekeepers without whose approval no music can ever become popular. Strange and misguided film which takes on a topic far beyond the scope of effort put into researching, writing and telling the story, or making the film. A very weak film is the result. See more Ed F @RT94800954 07/30/2023 Not very good, difficult to watch. See more 05/22/2023 A film for no one; Bowie fans will hate it and the uninitiated will be unmoved. Weak (in more ways than one) portrayal of Bowie and worse, annoying Marc Maron shows up because duh, there’s an anxious manager character. A film that takes all the joy out of film going, all the mystique out of Bowie. Hardly any actual Bowie music so literally nothing to see here. See more Read all reviews
