    [Highly rated reviewer]

    I'm a fan of Daniel Craig, but unfortunately I found his performance, as the faded Hollywood star extremely disappointing. With no links on how he changed from a young tearaway to a successful actor?? Luckily Craig isn't in much of the film. As ridiculous as it sounds, the flashbacks to his younger years, save the movie, with brilliant performances from Harry Eden, playing the young Daniel Craig and a super sexy turn from Felicity Jones.

    I do have to admit that the film grew on me, even if it took a few days to sink in. There's a brilliant soundtrack, some interesting storylines and the whole look and feel of the movie is captivating.

    Definitely worth a watch, 70's Glam nostalgia is brilliant and its all pretty damn good to look at.

    Weak story line with only average acting but reasonable watch (just - if nothing better to watch/do). Quite a few unexpected sex scenes.

    Nice little film..a kind of modern day Summer of 42..which can be taken as praise indeed. Fair play to Daniel Craig stepping forward for this project

  • Frustrating...a curate's egg of a film

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By SJSharrow (11 reviews) , 22 Jan 2013
    I caught the beginning of this film on TV in the summer and enjoyed it enough to get it out to watch in it's entirety. It is a VERY slow film; within it I think there's a great, funny and perky film, but the balance is slightly out throughout so that it becomes frustrating and I felt a bit 'so what?' about the whole thing...the central character is certainly not sympathetic and the actor who plays Craig when he's young is pretty but unimpressive. The women/girls on the other hand are well written and well acted...(I love Olivia Williams, so I might be biased); delivering some moments of pure brilliance in the bla-bla-bla of hazy nostalgia

  • I expected more

    Err Daniel Craig looks soo hot, Felicity Jones and that other actor who plays a young 'Joe' are good. But the script development is dissapointing and Clare Forlani is under used!

    Not a great movie I'm afraid, I expected more, but I got to see Daniel Craig with no clothes on soo its not all bad.
