This is one movie where I totally get the low score. And it's even worse on imdb.

Where do I start ? At the beginning would be appropriate. The movie starts by saying that what you are about to see is "(mostly) fictional". Great. Now I will question everything I see and quite literally don´t believe a thing I see. I think the Bowie family was not in favor of the movie so there probably was no permission to do anything else. At that early point the movie already becomes useless. Why even bother ?

You don't get much music from Bowie, if you had hoped to learn something about him (like me) you can't be sure of what you get. And on top of that you get a main actor who, in my view, can't act if his life depended on it. Seriously, he wasn't convincing in any scene even if I would take the angle that he was playing a completely unknown character.

Maybe you can find something in this movie if you are a Bowie fan. I am just an admirer who likes a lot of his songs and hoped to learn a bit about them and him. If that is your inspiration, too, I suggest reading a wikipedia article.

Saves you a lot of time and has more content.
