User Review - 8/10 by Felipe PDepois desse filme Douglas Booth começou a merecer meu respeito, nunca imaginaria que ele conseguirira interpretar tão bem esse papel.
User Review - 6/10 by Evan HInteresting and moving story, right there with Velvet Goldmine, Marc Warren stunning and Mark Gatiss great as always
User Review - 6/10 by Emma NInteresting film, especially visually. Marc Warren was stunning and Mark Gatiss great as always
User Review - 6/10 by Laura MIt was entertaining. I enjoyed the music and the actors. The biggest downside to this movie, however, was the disjointed quality it had in places. Transitions between time lines could have been clearer.
User Review - 4/10 by David PI stumbled across this on Time Warner On Demand and decided to check it out. Maybe I was just nostalgic to hear a little "Karma Chameleon" or "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me." It soon became apparent that wasn't going to happen, at least to any extent. Instead, the movie focuses on Boy George's early years and gradual rise to stardom. It was mildly interesting, yet all too familiar. Parental disapproval? Check. Underdog ego-blows? Check. Doomed romances with cute drummers and assorted musicians? Check. Rock star debauchery and drug use? Check. Wish I'd just watched a few of their old music videos and missed this movie blind. Sad to see such an account of a fabulous gay character go straight to video.
