One of the best musical biopics I've ever seen. Besides the creative portrayal of the main character (which was CRAZY good), it holds your attention throughout. The dancing and musical scenes are amazing, really. At times it was clichéd and typical, just enough for what is needed for this genre and a feel-good movie. I also loved the subtle references that only true Robbie Williams fans will recognize - and, as it turns out, I'm one of them.
It was…
The two minutes at the end of the film when they are waiting for the Uber broke my heart. I felt tense, helpless and empty all at once. I wanted to scream, but instead my tears flowed in silent streams.
"You dream in a language I can't understand." (Arthur)
"I didn't know that liking your husband would hurt this much." (Hae Sung)
These lines destroyed me. As well as Arthur sitting on the staircase waiting for her.
A beautifully heartaching story.
I didn't know what this movie was about. Honestly, I thought it'd explore the relationship of two queer men... BOY WAS I WRONG. Made it to my 1st go to cry movie for sure.
