Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Off

To give the film some credit, it's based off a play that folks I trust in West End say is legitimately scary, so it may turn out okay.

Album Rating: 3.5

it's got a pretty good score on rotten tomatoes for critics who have seen it in advance.

Interesting... the clip they showed on Jonathan Ross seemed complete crap

Seems odd to chastise her for "setting feminism back" (as if every female needs to adhere to a feminist monolith), then go on to casually address "female pop music" as though it's outside of each's respective genre, and that women singing pop (regardless of the specific style) is a genre in itself. Also worth lamenting that you missed the clear cheekiness (and even social commentary) in her submissiveness... perhaps not ironic, but hardly earnest.

Still, kudos for not harping on her lack of "authenticity", as many reviewers do... as if "authenticity" is synonymous with earnest confession (surely there's a long history in literature and music to debunk that), and is if every great was "authentic" (Marc Bolan, David Bowie, Marlene Dietrich, Bob Dylan, etc...).

Overall, reasonably fair review... but I still disagree with it.
