There's nothing like watching a guy hit rock bottom and then try to crawl back up again. Or as that heartless record industry weasel puts it, 'People love a good tragedy.' Especially one set to a good beat.

You may ... find the picture as undisciplined as Frankie's wild coif. I see the chaos, like the coif, to be tangled but pointed, an endearingly calculated mess.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

The formula doesn't entirely stick, but Dowse's visual veracity towers over any narrative shortcomings Tong presents.
Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune

This is biopic as raving rumination. But it is also a surprisingly compassionate redemption story.
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

The movie works because of its heedless comic intensity; Kaye and his writer-director, Michael Dowse, chronicle the rise and fall of Frankie Wilde as other directors have dealt with emperors and kings.
