Washed up folk singer Herb McGwyer (Tom Basden) travels to a remote island to play a private gig for "less than" 100 people. The audience of one turns out to be Charles (Tim Key), lottery winner and Herb super-fan. Unbeknownst to Herb, Charles has invited Herb's former cowriter and lover Nell to get the band back together.

The heart of this film is Tim Key. His normal awkward persona works perfectly here. The soul is Tom Basden (never heard of him before, but will look out for him now!) as the Thewlis-like jaded rock star. Tom Basden apparently wrote all the songs, which are all excellent, and they really add authenticity.

Sian Clifford (Fleabag) is also great as the comic foil for the film and love interest for Charles.

The film reminded me a lot of Brian and Charles (2022), another low key but rather brilliant indie comedy.

Some harsh reviews here, and it may not be quite Succession-level quality. But this is still a great little play satirizing the carelessness of certain well-known tech billionaires today.

Comparisons could be made with the recent book Careless People about Zuckerberg and his total indifference to how Facebook accelerated literal mass violence. Or to the Alex Garland movie Ex Machina about an amoral psychopath developing AI and not caring about the consequences of his actions.

Cory Michael Smith really stood out as the awful Zuckerberg man-child. Steve Carell is brilliant as ever as the billionaire who thinks he is smarter than his own doctors.

This was marketed as a breakthrough documentary, but if you've watched Titanic documentaries nothing much will be new here. We do however get beautiful renderings of the ship taken from underwater scans which really help to understand the wreck.

I would have liked a bit more detail about how the ship was scanned, how the huge debris field was investigated, and how the pictures were pieced together. Along with how the iceberg simulations were made (like, how do they know the shape of the iceberg?)

Still, it's entertaining enough and at 70 minutes long it was about the right length for the material presented.
