About
If you enjoy music biopics with gritty teen ambition, messy band dynamics, and a loud, raunchy edge, this may hit the spot; Not for you if you want a fuller, fact-heavy band history like Velvet Goldmine.
Pros: strong lead performances; energetic rock moments; vivid 70s vibe | Cons: thin character depth; rushed, jumpy story; other bandmates sidelined
