Follows the last days of a rising but problematic musician.
Leave your thoughts about Taurus.
| The TelegraphTim RobeyI was surprised to find how emptying out a man in this fashion triggered genuine emotion by the end. |
| Slant MagazineMark HansonTaurus is in the business of self-aggrandizement, but this is a film that understands that stardom is inherently aggrandizing. |
| We Got This CoveredMartin CarrAnchored by a music industry veteran in the form of Machine Gun Kelly, Taurus is defined by rock star cliche, yet transcends those narrow perimeters to deliver a poignant piece of drama refreshingly free of pretension. |
| IndieWireDavid EhrlichThe warts-and-all honesty that Baker brings to the table doesn’t prevent Sutton from repackaging his story as a simple cautionary tale about an industry — and a society — that will fatten people up just to eat them alive. At least it’s a tale that Baker lived to tell, and refused to let anyone else tell for him. |
| The PlaylistChristian GallichioTaurus may not reach the existential heights of “Last Days,” but it’s a step in the right direction for Sutton and a continued reminder that Baker needs more roles that reflect his skill set. |
| VarietyGuy LodgeThis is about as valiantly unflattering as vanity projects get. The bad news is that the wispily tragic character of “Cole,” his alienated, self-destructive but wildly popular alter ego, hardly seems worth Baker’s extensive efforts. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayAt its best, Taurus captures the tumult of the artistic process, where happy accidents and unpleasant truths are perpetually in conflict. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreWhat it’s not very good at getting across is the source of the pain, the disaffection that drives our anti-hero’s excesses or his art. |
| RogerEbert.comKatie RifeTaurus isn’t meant to lionize its protagonist. But even in offering a cautionary tale, all it can deliver is shallow provocation and monotonous cliché. |
| Screen DailyLee MarshallWith its uneasy and never-resolved conflict of interest between music star vehicle and music star drama and its lack of much at all to say about life, music or the creative process, Taurus ain’t rising anytime soon. |
