Leave your thoughts about Killing Bono.
| Birmingham PostGraham YoungKilling Bono completes a neat hat-trick and should be seen by anyone who has ever dreamed - and failed - to become a rock god. |
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsWe have all, at some time or other, wanted to kill Bono. |
| Daily Express (UK)Henry FitzherbertAn extremely enjoyable, very well performed romp that extracts surprisingly mileage from a story about failure. |
| Television Without PityEthan AlterKilling Bono's rise-and-fall arc is a little predictable, but the cast is spirited and U2 fans should get a kick out of the references to the band's early days. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumChris BumbrayIt's certainly lightweight, but there's nothing at all wrong with that. I thoroughly enjoyed it. |
| NPRMark JenkinsWhile Barnes and Sheehan are persuasive as the squabbling siblings, the music-biz mockery is blunt and obvious. |
| Film ThreatJessica BaxterDespite having plenty of guns, drugs and danger,[Killing Bono] isn't really all that dark. |
| New York PostKyle SmithKilling Bono begs to be remade with A-list stars but, given Neil's history of near-misses, probably won't be. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyDon't expect any factual expose about the formative years of U2; this is more of a rock farce in which the band is sort of a plot device. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerThis cleverly conceived, behind-the-scenes tale features fine lead performances and enough nods to the epic group's early days to interest fans outside the U.K. |
