Been So Long

I'll admit that I'm not the biggest fan of musicals in general, but there is some great ones out there. This is not one them. The acting, storyline, songs and characters were all cringe. Couldn't find myself caring about the main characters. Also George MacKay is seriously wasted here as an actor. I can't believe he agreed to this project. I know he's done a musical before with Hunky Dory but that film had lot of charm, this one was a hot mess.

3 stars as it was just watchable, nothing more than this. Non memorable music, which seemed rather pointless in this movie, but without it the movie would be also rather pointless as it is a complete non-story. Some random characters bringing nothing interesting. Watch only if there is nothing else going on in your life at the time.

Really brilliant acting from the whole cast, had some excellent sections in the film but overall it dragged and was a bit directionless.

With such a great cast it's a shame three couldn't get away from really cheesy lyrics and a trite plot line and random uninteresting plot devices

On paper this film ticks all the boxes, on screen its fantastical execution carries no weight leaving you a little unfazed by all the jazz. Shame, British stories need to stories which transcend but not ones that are poorly tacted on with cheap 'devices'.
