Taurus Reviews
A classical tale with a superficially contemporary bent, Taurus feels a touch opportunistic and not particularly well observed.
This woozy, self-indulgent, and overly familiar story about an obnoxious music star fails to generate much interest or sympathy, except maybe for those who are forced to endure him.
Taurus plays like a personal project, but that doesn’t make it good. However, Baker should take pride in knowing he has a future in acting.
An odd mash-up of biofiction and celebrity cautionary tale, “Taurus” is heavy on mood — utilizing woozy, overexposed cinematography and a dread-inducing score by Baker — to showcase a burgeoning rapper’s self-implosion over the course of a week or so.
At its best, “Taurus” captures the tumult of the artistic process, where happy accidents and unpleasant truths are perpetually in conflict.
As it grows bleaker, the screenplay incisively explores how industry pressures compromise the artistic process and stifle talent.
Even in offering a cautionary tale, all it can deliver is shallow provocation and monotonous cliché.
The film is ... sadly universal about the effects of fame and addiction...
Colson Baker is hauntingly authentic, also providing memorable eerie melodies.
Vapid, tedious and often monotonous descent into the chaos of life. Colson Baker's charisma and stylish visuals alone aren't enough to compensate for the lack of substance.
Baker puts as much as he can he into the role, but the script only gives him so much room to operate. It is clear what type of person he is supposed to be, but there is little clue given as to why the audience should care.
Sutton remains too detached from the main character, failing to connect to whatever humanity Baker is aching to find in his performance.
Taurus entrances in its surrealist vision of a musician’s descent into madness.
The film riffs on a theme rather than rocks it.... adventurous filmgoers who appreciate the film’s vibe should find much to admire.
A somber tale where fiction and real-life are blurred.
More nihilistic than melancholic.
At least it’s a tale that Baker lived to tell, and refused to let anyone else tell for him.
Taurus is in the business of self-aggrandizement, but this is a film that understands that stardom is inherently aggrandizing.
The metatextual implication and emotional punch here has, of course, to do with Baker and Fox being a couple with a private life on public display.
The love-hate relationship between this bickering pair is a darkly funny and touching one that, like many scenes, offers an insight into the lives of the rich and famous
