ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
rhysseddon-88973 I am a big Numan fan but whether your not a fan does not really matter, their have been other documentaries about him rise, then fall, and then a slight more rise again. But this covers the ground more about how he met his wife, how she had a huge impact on his life and music, and the making of splinter. This isn't totally about music it's more about gary numan as a person and how he is a family man, very heartwarming.
Dalbert Pringle This 85-minute celebrity-documentary takes a "warts & all" look at the rise, the fall, and the eventual music-career resurgence (in La-La Land) of synth-pop android, Gary Numan.And, the question that continually comes up throughout this presentation asks - "Is Numan really human?"Through interviews, stills, and archival film-clips - Gary Numan (who, next to Kraftwerk, and Brian Eno) is considered to be an electronic-music pioneer.In this program - Numan's musical ambitions are discussed and debated at great lengths.Anyway - As far as this documentary's entertainment-factor goes - It certainly had both its equal share of good moments, as well as its not-so-good moments, too.
sourpussss Numan turns out to be a lot more interesting than I recalled, and his music certainly has held up in ways I wouldn't have imagined. The documentary does a great job of letting you into the world of an introverted hermit, who somehow married one of his fans and that turned out to be a really good thing. It's overlong by about 10 minutes, but the part about his current work provide a pretty impressive display of artistic firepower for someone 30 years from his celebrated work, and there are some surprises about the early stuff too. This is a really solid music doc, something you should enjoy even if you're not a fan of Gary Numan's oeuvre.
