Hunky Dory Movie Review: | |
| Golden-hued, feel-good treacle, the sort that the U.K. has tried to export ever since Billy Elliot. Amy Nicholson-Los Angeles Times The golden-hued cinematography (a filming cliché that really needs to be retired) and the sometimes slack direction by Marc Evans are minuses ... Lou Lumenick-New York Post At various moments this endearing but sudsy movie, which spills all over the place, evokes "High School Musical," "Glee" and "Billy Elliot." Stephen Holden-New York Times Hunky Dory flits along blithely from number to transporting musical number until it ends - with a sigh - and dodges any authentic engagement with its own ideas. Joel Arnold-NPR Enthusiasm carries the day in this paint-by-numbers period tale, which is just charming enough to coast on its own clichés. Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News Hunky Dory has some pleasant things in it, but unfortunately, the funereal pace makes a snail look like a jackrabbit. Rex Reed-New York Observer Although not perfect, 'Hunky Dory' offers much to admire. For example, the film's glorious finale almost took my breath away. Betty Jo Tucker-ReelTalk Movie Reviews Director Marc Evans and screenwriter Laurence Coriat fumble both the musical side of their movie and the coming-of-age side. Noel Murray-AV Club An appealing drama set in Wales in 1976 about a high school rock opera version of Shakespeare's The Tempest. Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice It's pleasant, forgettably feelgood and unabashedly hackneyed, doing everything you expect it to - nothing more, nothing less. Aaron Yap-Flicks.co.nz Dory has a spark that never catches fire, leaving the bulk of its personality up to Driver and her interesting take on the often strange moods of this coming-of-age musical drama. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com There's at least one sub-plot too many, but audiences willing to suspend disbelief will be swept up as the greatest high school band in the history of music perform an impeccable selection of hits. Paul Gallagher-The List The earnest playing of the orchestra and the lo-fi warbling touch the heart in a way that a more polished production might not. Anthony Quinn-Independent If Hunky is hellishly clunky, it's also good-hearted and well-intentioned with some laughs and decent tunes. Siobhan Synnot-Scotsman The kids' final performance is a high note -- rousing and true; final proof that you don't need tidy resolutions to spin a lasting memory. Stella Papamichael-Digital Spy It's all very lovely and very sad. Cynics need not apply. Aging softies will almost certainly yield to Evans's warm sensibilities. Donald Clarke-Irish Times | |
