Stardust (2020)

"Velvet garbage."

"Lacks a noticeable amount of Bowie songs and includes many scenes filmed on the cheap."

"How can you recreate the first Ziggy concert in 1972 at Borough Assembly Hall, Aylesbury, and fail to evoke even an ounce of the moment’s dynamism even when you have the moves down?"

"Could be marketed as “Bowie as you’ve never seen him,” but it feels like “Bowie as no one ever saw him.”"

"A mostly listless odyssey, its lack of excitement compounded by the absence of Bowie's music."

"The movie gives us only a small taste of it, but it’s enough to whet your appetite: for a Bowie biopic that captures this cracked actor in all his funhouse-mirror rock ‘n’ roll glory."

"It's bland, not bold, and achingly absent of enchantment."

"While there are flashes of originality in the film’s script... most of it is relatively straightforward..."

"The movie’s performances are good, not great, but enjoyable nonetheless."
