Russ D @Calaverasgrande 16 hrs ago I'm only giving this 3 stars because of Bowie, Arquette and Balint. The first two are obvious but I've also had a crush on Ezther Balint (Viv) since Stranger than Paradise. It's a bad movie, but weirdly bad at least. It's quirky with quirky sets and quirky characters. But it somehow comes off boring and mundane. Speaking of Stranger than Paradise, it seems like it's trying to channel Jim Jarmusch at times with the music and locations. However the improvised dialogue needs to be better, and the composition and photography as well in order to pull of that style of movie. It leans a little in the direction of 80s cult films. But that is one thing that never works. You can't 'make' a cult film. They happen. It's worth the watch if you like cute women with big noses, or are a Bowie compleatist. Though I have to say, Balint and Arquette have to suffer the worst hairstyles of their careers in this film. Really, Arquette looks like Klaus Kinski with hose bangs. See more

Dean S @DeanDFW Jul 6, 2026 Somewhat humorous, somewhat tedious, very predictable. See more

Marshie M @Marshie Jan 23, 2026 I laughed several times throughout the movie. I feel like it was very creative, interesting, and the acting was great. It was a very strange film, but with David Bowie I wouldn’t expect anything less. 😉 You should definitely give this movie a chance if you’re looking for a silly movie to watch with your friends or family that you don’t want to take too seriously. It was worth the watch, and I may even watch it again sometime for a laugh. See more

Alain E @AlainE Nov 25, 2025 Self indulgent and I am a Bowie fan. See more

John F @RT22305088 Nov 5, 2025 OMG what a terrible movie. Really bad direction bringing out the worst in everyone, even Buck Henry. I’m a huge fan of Bowie as a musician, but this was before he realized that he cannot act, except to act like - David Bowie. Apparently just before he got his teeth fixed, and they are fairly repulsive to behold. Arquette is not bad though. See more

Alec B @Alec97 Nov 7, 2024 Arguably too weird but then again the fact that the movie is always going against the grain is what makes it memorable. This is a good use of a Bowie performance. See more
