Is it a Drama? A Comedy? Or Music Hall dream? Director Julien Temple (The Great Rock n Roll Swindle, Absolute Beginners) takes a stage show, adds some drama, archive, animation and music, then shakes it all up for MY LIFE STORY where singer Suggs, takes a hilarious, yet moving, look back at his life in music and words. The death of Suggs' beloved cat on his 50th birthday triggers a personal quest to discover what happened to the father he never knew. Stunned by what he learns Suggs is taken back through his life to a childhood on the streets of Soho featuring music written by The Kinks, Ian Drury and, of course, his beloved Madness.
Leave your thoughts about My Life Story.
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabIt's an eccentric, wildly entertaining and very inventive affair which combines live performance and music hall references with documentary elements. |
| Times (UK)Kevin MaherThe co-director Julien Temple (The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle) provides the archive footage and animated inserts, but for better and for worse the film is all Suggs. |
| Total FilmTim ColemanTemple uses dramatisations and archive footage to add visual breadth, but keeps Suggs' charisma front and centre. It's surprisingly intimate and effortlessly charming. |
| Observer (UK)Wendy IdeIf Suggs's anecdotes are not quite as entertaining as he thinks they are, it hardly matters, such is the disarmingly raffish charm of the delivery. |
| Sunday Times (UK)Edward PorterIt's a slightly stiff routine -- he (Suggs) doesn't have the knack of making scripted lines sound unscripted -- but it's likeable, and some of the anecdotes are reminders of just how many ardent fans Madness have. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawIt takes a while to get into its stride, but this filmed record of Suggs's autobiographical stage show in London's Hoxton Hall is amiable, fluent and often intriguing. |
| CineuropaKaleem AftabThis film is one for those fans not looking for an investigation or warts-and-all portrait of a subject, and will please those who are happy to hear some fun anecdotes and stories of the good old days. |
