    Ive watched this film so so many times now but it still makes me incredibly happy. Laughing and crying and then more laughing the whole way through. Driss and Philip at the opera is one of the funniest scenes ever made. 

    I do think there are a lot of problems with Omar Sy’s character. It’s clearly a film made by people who view his background from an outside perspective. Although you absolutely love Driss, he is written like a characture. I think the review I liked puts it very well in more detail.

    I really like that Bob Dylan was involved in writing a biopic that portrays him as an asshole. He must be a weirdly self-aware narcissist. 

    Loved that so much of the film was music. Timmy does an insane job at recreating Dylan’s sound.

    Wasn’t blown away by the plot and some characters were a bit shallow. The scenes with Johnny Cash were so good though there should have been more of him!

    This was INCREDIBLE

    I had the biggest smile on my face for the duration of this. David Byrne is a singing, dancing and acting personification of pure creativity.

    Very grateful that this film exists so I could see Talking Heads perform. Sad because I’ll never get experience this myself in person. I had no idea how great they were live. 

    Watch this if you’re ever having a bad day. I’ll leave you two of my favourite David Byrne lyrics. One is beautiful, the other is weird. Both are pure talking heads. 

    “Never for money, always for love”
    “There’s water at the bottom of the ocean!”

    80% Russian people arguing, 19% sex scenes, 1% other things. I loved it.
