User Reviews

Well worth a watch..

I really enjoyed this film...Granted, it is not the film most people want or expected, but none the less, they did a great job portraying how David Jones became David Bowie...And while they weren't given permission to use actual Bowie songs, the film does include several well known Bowie covers spaced judiciously throughout the film.. You could make a dozen or more films about Bowie's long and prolific career and that still would not be enough imhp .So, hats off to director, actors, and everyone else involved...Thank you:)
