8/10
It is not a good film in an objective sense but...
19 June 2024
I sure can see how most people would consider this one of the worst films ever made. Production is super cheap in half the scenes. And a few scenes have some random nonsensical moments which are even weirder than the bizarre main events that surround them. The plot is very odd and the film gives very eccentric vibes for better or for worse.

But I found the film to be overwhelmingly heartwarming and uplifting. It is also such a personal project - semi-fictional and semi-biographical as it involves some events from the singer's life that actually happened in real life but also features tons of fantasy elements as well. It is such a passion project and I was so cheered by it that it would be impossible for me to dislike it.

I personally really loved the songs and Daniel is beyond cute. He's so adorable, beautiful and charming, but I have a thing for skinny guys with long hair so maybe it's just me.

Besides everything, the film also somewhat foreshadows the disturbing events that followed years later in real life. So, now it is an important film to exist as a historical artefact in retrospect to the singer's death.
