Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Michael WilmingtonAbsolute Beginners is a terrifically inventive original musical for the screen. Daring attempt to portray the birth of teenagedom in London, 1958, almost exclusively through song is based upon Colin MacInnes' cult novel about teen life and pop fashion in the percolating moments just before the youth cultural explosion in the early 1960s.
Miami Herald - 8/10 by Tom MoonA mixed success, but an exhilarating try.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Dave KehrA visually inventive and energetic pop musical.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 7/10 by Emanuel LevyThough the film is flawed, it's still underrated as an exploration of a crucial era of London's pop culture, and the eccentric cast (including David Bowie) adds a lot of color.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Caryn JamesLooking through these layers of time, this flashy, extravagant rock musical, which opens today at the Ziegfeld, elevates style to a symptom and cause of social change. And though it aims for more coherence than it delivers, it has endless flair with no self-importance...For all its unevenness, Absolute Beginners is high pop culture.
Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Sheila BensonA general disappointment, but then with David Bowie and Patsy Kensit what did you expect.
Creative Loafing - 5/10 by Matt Brunson'Absolute Beginners' ranks as one of David Bowie's greatest songs, and it's just a shame the frustrating movie of the same name doesn't come close to matching its glory.
User Review - 10/10 by Amanda bMuito foda! Um dos meus favoritos. Londres música fotografia Bowie e muito mais. só vendo mesmo...
User Review - 10/10 by Anne SI loved the feel of this movie.. nothing else like it.
