Heartbreaking if you know the story
4 October 2020
This is a hard movie to watch if you know what's going on. I knew of the tragedy and was glued to the screen from minute one, as it shows how Nick Cave, his family and his friends react to one of life's most difficult moments. It is a harrowing, depressing and emotional ride. But you have to know what's going on. My companion didn't and she had a totally different experience, especially in the first half, where it just seemed a boring aimless mess of a movie. And this is the film's fault as it doesn't contextualize anything and assumes you know what's going on. So for me and for Cave fans this is a must, but be warned, if you are not familiar with the man's tragedy it will be a dull, confusing and self indulgent experience.
