Red hot cinema, knew I'd regret not catching this while it was in theatres and I was right. Had been meaning to catch up on Kurzel's films because they all sound very much like my cup of tea and now I am learning that I was right.
Some very scary tension and atmosphere built from pulling the teeth out of every scene. Multiple people drowning in their own blood after getting their chest caved in. The way that white power chant erupts after the commotion slowly builds in the town hall. Chilling stuff. No one hates Americans better than an Australian baby 🤙

Hits the beats of all the usual music biopic stuff, albeit with a bit more grace, but if anything I'm grateful for the sheer joy contained in this film. Some genuinely life-affirming stuff in here, in particular during the Newport scenes. Sometimes comes off as Mangold trying to prove just how earnest he can be, which clashes ever so slightly with the highly-researched nature of the thing, but any attempt at radical sincerity is a good thing in my opinion. A great time at the movies with my brother!

Some great meta jokes from this too (Including “my father left me when I was little”, didn’t want to be the only laugh at that…
