  WHAT THE FUCK GUYS.

  This film came right the fuck out of nowhere and totally blindsided me. I can barely even form coherent thought right now. It's that good.

  Frank is that good.

  While many people have had The Lego Movie and Under The Skin (two other instant classics I must add) as their film-of-2014-that-immediately-ranks-among-their-top-top-favourites, that film for me is Frank.

  I have never seen a film be so hilarious and so heartbreaking and mix it so well. Last film I saw that did that was In Bruges. This is the only film to parallel that.

  Michael Fassbender is a godsend. His performance, at the end especially, is pure brilliance. He brings charisma to a role in which he wears…

  "Music is shit."

  Frank investigates the relationship between trauma and art, and asks where creative inspiration comes from. For someone trying to do something at least mildly creative with his life, there were times where it felt like it was speaking directly to my personal experience. Its story reaches for something real in the nature of art.

  Jon Burroughs (Domhnall Gleeson) is an untalented musician from a safe, affluent background, and he thinks that the reason his music is no good is that he's never had to struggle with anything in his life. He believes that creativity springs from trauma. He is offered the opportunity to join the eccentric band of Frank Sidebottom (Michael Fassbender), and together they go out…

  Frank, it's nice to see ya.
  It's really nice to be here,
  I love you all.

  Big blue eyes and welcoming smile;
  Big fake head you never take it off,
  I love you all.

  Eccentric band, electro punk.
  No fans, keyboardist is gone.
  I love you all.

  Mental illness, mental breakdown
  What's the cost to record a likeable album?
  I love you all.

  Music is shit, the internet lies.
  A good view under the table.
  I love you all.

  Soronprfbs, not sure how to pronounce.
  Doesn't really matter, don't need an audience.
  I love you all.

  Egg hatching on a Sunday morning.
  Born to make music. Again and again!

  IIIII LOOOOVE YOUUUU ALLLLLL

  Jon Burroughs: What goes on inside that head... inside that head?

  This was a nice and comfortable movie about a band of weird people making weird music and we follow them through the eyes of their newest band member Jon. The group is led by a frank (haha) guy named Frank, who constantly wears a weird head and none of the others have ever seen his real face, but they all still look up to him. 
  The movie is very unique and it mixes drama and comedy well. It was primarily a feel good movie but it also had dramatic moments and the characters all had their ups and downs but it was mainly very wholesome. 
  The acting was good…
