Leia G Jun 5, 2018 Like Prince's "Purple Rain," the music here well outshines whatever other cinematic qualities the movie attempts. Overwrought, underwritten, flatly acted-but, oh man, those songs! That band! And in the end, much to the movie's benefit, the camera lingers longer on Simon-the-singer than it does on Simon-the-actor. The result is about half concert film, half mediocre melodrama, but one hell of a great soundtrack. See more
