17 songs in the Soundtracks; several played by cast in rehearsal or performance.

Seemed really long, but surprised when it ended, because absolutely nothing was resolved. Definitely a pointless film from my perspective, except possibly to build resumes for newbies. I don't want to spend the time to list what was depicted. Nothing particularly vulgar or violent (except toward paintings and a guitar), just a slice of unpleasant, disintegrating life.

Maybe if you liked the music, which was from a couple of sub-genres that don't appeal to me.

AVOID.

Rated  5.6 (864)
