Jersey Boys
A
musical biography on Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.
Miserable, dreary adaptation of the
Broadway hit peppered with its director’s characteristic glibness. What was
jaunty and clever on the stage is here, on film, quite the opposite.

Begin Again
A
musician tries to make it in New York after her famous boyfriend breaks-up with
her.
Hokey
musical view of New York life seen through rose-coloured glasses. It is
consistently bogus and infuriating throughout.

Frank *
A
young wannabe musician joins a pop-band with a very eccentric lead
singer/songwriter.
A
difficult film to place, making many risky moves that are (mostly)
unsuccessful. It gains immeasurably from its cast.
