  I dunno, I just think Sorrentino is one of the absolute best in the game.

  I was really enthralled when I saw this in the cinema on release. Still thoroughly enjoyed it but it is for sure overlong.

  Elliott Smith - Olympia, Washington 2004

  ★★★★★ Watched 11 Jan 2024

  An opportunity to watch the greatest songwriter who ever lived play a great setlist with some of the most dextrous and dynamic guitar playing you’ve ever heard. The man had a 5 piece band in his right hand.

  Highlights include: 

  - saying he hasn’t played in a while, and is nervous, before launching into comfortably his most difficult guitar song.

   - staring absolute daggers at the person in the audience who yells ‘Freebird!’

  The issue is that it’s supposed to be a film about Catherine Parr, but she is sadly completely overshadowed by another performance…

  …Ian Drysdale as Sir Anthony Denny.
