been-20687 - 9 November 2023 Colson Baker aka MGK gives an amazing performance I think its actually a really entertaining movie and MGK gives an actually really good performance. The film it's self has some writing issues but in my opinion MGK's performance more than makes up for it, for example there's this scene in the begging of the movie where his character does drugs in a bathroom and starts imagining things me as someone who lives for good acting would watch this movie again just to see him perform that scene as he did amazing with it and I was really surprised at how good of acting he was doing it also helps that im a big fan of his and his music has helped me through a lot so if you know anything about him or are just looking for a movie with great young acting talent this is a great pick.
jasmineayouby - 12 December 2022 MGK has a Presence unlike any other! Colton Baker is INCREDIBLE in this movie, he has an undeniable presence that is just so effortless and cool. Very rebel/rockstar vibes that was just so intriguing to watch. However, the movie was uneventful and kinda without any real plot. It just seemed like a day in the life of a drug addict rockstar. So if you don't mind that, it was a great watch! MGK really carried this movie with just his presence, he has this IDGAF attitude which is so intriguing with a bad boy, yet vulnerable side. Damn is he HOT when he's mad! Ok I'm done, 11/10 stars for MGK but movie-wise, maybe a 5/10, well acted and great scenes :)
letsbookaboutit - 19 November 2022 A heartbreaking lesson in Empathy, the only way to experience it. There are 2 ways you can watch this film. One is to sit on your couch and view a tragic man's story as a bystander and make judgments about what you see. Judge the main character harshly, critically, but missing Colson Baker's narrative entirely.
The second version is to tap into the darkest parts of the human soul, the parts few want to discuss. Feel the pain of a lost and broken man as he tries to navigate a world the only way he knows how. Through numbing his pain, lashing out at his fears and pouring his emotions into his music. This man wants so much more than he knows how to obtain. It breaks you. I'll be feeling this one for awhile. This movie sits in those uncomfortable moments & makes you feel another humans struggles...if you let it.
Colson Baker's performance was incredible and moved me to tears. I have not seen him in any other films, nor am I a "fangirl" who blindly praises his work. This is genuine admiration for a pure talent and a film that deeply touched my soul.
You can see "Cole" as unlovable, raw, angry or as a total jerk (if I'm watching my language) but I believe the character was portrayed that way, because that's how "Cole" saw himself every day. Think on that as you watch.
