About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a larger-than-life, music-driven biopic with a hazy 60s atmosphere and a bold central performance, like Elvis or Selena; Not for you if you need strict accuracy or a balanced band-focused story.
Pros: powerhouse lead performance; electrifying live music; strong 60s vibe | Cons: shaky historical accuracy; messy, incoherent storytelling; band feels sidelined
