Jerod S If you were a child of the 80s and ever wondered what happened to Wham! - this is a great docu. Fairly represented in the words of George and Andrew, it's a good drop into the pop world.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/29/24 Full Review Robson C O documentário conta a trajetória do duo pop dos anos 80, o Wham!, desde o início da amizade na infância entre George Michael e Andrew Ridgeley até o show final e dissolução do grupo, com a carreira solo de Michael. Um ponto importante desse documentário que o tema mais importante é a amizade entre George e Andrew. Como cada um se beneficiou dela e como isso mudou com o transcorrer dos anos. Se na infância, era Andrew que movia a dupla, por George ser mais tímido, com a criação do grupo e o desenvolvimento de Michael como cantor, compositor e ídolo pop, Andrew acabou por se tornar secundário. E é interessante escutar os depoimentos de Andrew ser a testemunha principal da evolução do seu amigo, ao mesmo tempo que via os demônios internos dele o consumindo, por causa da sua orientação sexual, do ego dele querer ser visto como um artista e não apenas um ídolo teen. E isso nos leva a pensar a falta que fez a Michael do apoio que ele tinha com Andrew. Não é somente um filme sobre um grupo pop de sucesso dos anos 80, mas principalmente de uma amizade e do nascimento de um artista com talento reconhecido, famoso, mas consumido por questões internas. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/24 Full Review Jeff M Though a child of the 80s, Wham! was never my thing. I knew a couple of their songs, but other than that, I was clueless about their early years and the formation of the group. And, to be quite frank, my knowledge is not necessarily that much greater after watching this documentary. If Wikipedia ever started its own movie studio, this is the kind of film that might be produced. It hits the bullet points, but never goes much deeper. It's also simultaneously refreshing but somewhat anticlimactic that there were no huge dramas behind the scenes, other than Michael struggling how to address his sexuality. If the filmmakers are accurate, they remained good friends throughout the relatively short span of the group, even at its demise. I can't say there's a lot here that warrants a feature-length documentary, but I was quite entertained and came away with a new appreciation of their music. I even wouldn't mind a follow-up talking about Michael's and Ridgeley's lives after the end of their collaboration. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/24 Full Review stephen b I never realized how well the other guy stepped away with such grace. In the end it was a pretty good story about friendship.
