I'd never heard of Jack Lowden before seeing this film, but he was excellent as Morrissey. (Curious how the bass-line is the same as Rusholme Ruffians.)
haha come on, every Moz fan knows the film was good and Jack did a fantastic job. Jack even said in a Q&A that I was in that he didn't even know that much about Morrissey before he did the film. More credit to him. And the movie was also the director's first feature film. It's a love letter to Moz, the Smiths, and their fans.
I've always loved the Smiths/Moz since I was a teen in 80's Chicago, but it was never really compounded just how similar our lives mirrored each other's until I watched this film. From the social alienation and inability to relate, growing up in stultifying blue-collar culture and Catholicism, shite home life, love of early 60's music and aesthetic, unrelenting bullying, unrequited love, acerbic writing and disdain, even the HOUSE he grew up in was the same type and layout (semi-detached, or "duplex"; a very rare English style in Chicago, albeit mine was next to an airport with railroad tracks behind). Parallel lives? One wonders.
He nailed it. Not only the sound, but the performance, how you believe it's Morrissey that's nervous and what he's nervous about; a man singing a song about another man, one of his first live performances. How he moves and how he throws out something into the audience. How he looks for encouragement at 0:47. Excellent stuff. Still haven't seen this.
This is like I was hearing Morrissey singing Rusholme Ruffians (I think that was the intention) When I saw the film I was so impressed by his voice, he made a good voice of young Morrissey.
I’m a huge Smith fan and I just watched this film….It kind of dragged on for me but totally respect The interesting background with Billy Duffy from the cult and that woman artist he became a lifelong friend of which apparently their long walks inspired the song cemetery gates,
You should give it a chance. A bunch of scenes made me laugh, and one actually made me cry (and I'm not one to easily cry with movies). If you're a Morrissey or Smiths fans you'll probably be disappointed as there isn't any music by him/them, and the movie ends right when the "story begins", as in you don't get to see the "celebrity" part of it, only Steven's life before he became "Morrissey". Now, I'm not a Morrissey/Smiths fan, so that wasn't an issue to me. Maybe it isn't your typical movie in which you have the whole arc of a character's life, or a super intense plot and ending. For the most part, you're basically watching a young man struggling to overcome his shyness and anxiety and fears and do what he really wants to do. But Jack does a terrific job at portraying that, and the script has some really good lines, so if you've ever felt like that in your life, you'll most likely feel a connection with the character (plus he's at the same time very cynic, if only to mask his shyness, so his interactions with others are very funny). Sorry for the long comment and weighing in, lol, just wanted to suggest you gave it a chance ;)

Christ he’s good, mannerisms, everything! If they ever make another film that Morrissey signs off on he’s going to be hard to beat!!

Ikr
Same as Elvis's Latest Flame.
I never noticed that !
it's a lil detail for Smiths fans, they're littered throughout the whole film :)

Should’ve started a band.

I think it's still on Hulu. That's where I watched it.
HIS VOICE MAKES ME FLY TO HEAVEN
This track should be released.

Am I the only one who noticed his Scottish Accent in the first "give him..."???
No😂😂
This is perfection! ✨
ICONIC ....YAY JACK
I LOVE JACK LOWDEN SO MUCH HE'S SO BEAUTIFUL I'M DYING
He's so real for this

WE LOVE A HANDSOME SINGING SHISTAR

Rusholme Ruffians sneaked in there ;)
Yeah, that opener. I was trying to remember what later song it was used on. thanks. it's a nice little rock-a-billy-diddy
god hes amazing
Marvelous

Great film.
The last night of fair.....
I was in the club that nite
He is the light that never goes out...!
has anyone noticed the bass line is from rusholm ruffians?
Also does no one realise this is a cover of a Shangri-la's song?
"MWAH!"
I’m sorry but 0:59! I love it!
Awwwwww
I want more
0:43 😍
el mas bello del mundo
Se puede ser más adorable????
Release this please
The Real Goddess Mira of Pleaides and Further choreographed this music video.
The beat sort of like rusholme ruffians and sing your life
I really think that this is the only episode when the movie was great.
Yuriy Viktorovic so the movie was that bad ?
Arya, it was. Too much emphasis on "he is not like all the others"
Yuriy Viktorovic is that worth to watch? cause now im in the position of a lot of doubt but also curious😂😂
It's not a bad movie but I was expecting more music.

Wow
yea i don't think the movie really matched our expectations except maybe in the perverse sense but i still found the movie amusing
I love you
Full version of this please
same
I thought Morrissey kept his hair more restrictive and tidy up with a swag
*L M F A O*
His hair gives me anxiety
When u prefer this fake version of morriesy than actual morriesy
Now if we could just have a fake version of Robert Sm- oh wait, Robert Smith IS the fake version of Robert Smith.
@@Engelbird I’m so confused
Whopper
It wasn't bad.
The bassline was just stolen off a smiths song
Ed's Studio Workshop Rusholme Ruffians
Which was nicked off Maries the name of his latest flame by Elvis Presley
what song
that's the point. it was a reference for smiths fans
Rusholm ruffians 2.0
Who else laughed at this? I love Jack but this is priceless
This guy looks more like Jim Morrison.
Jenny Fraser towards the end of the film with short hair and glasses he looks really like Morrisey
That's how Morrissey looked at the time
Roger Federer will play Morrissey’s smiths fase lmao
