Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: You're in for something funny, touching and vital. Director Lenny Abrahamson knows his way around eccentrics.
Fresh: Odd, offbeat, somehow endearing, the bleakly comic "Frank" has its own kind of charm as well as some pointed, poignant things to say about the mysterious nature of creativity, where it comes from and where it might all go.
Fresh: The whole thing is in danger of becoming arch and quirky, yet Abrahamson steers the final act of his drama toward a sombre, unhappy rumination.
Fresh: A functioning, funny, weirdly touching fable of artistic angst and aspiration, a meditation on fame and its terrors and the metaphoric usefulness of masks and huge fake heads.
Customer Reviews
Great movie can't wait to be able to purchase it
Quirky, intelligent and fast paced. Loved it!
Wasted Time
Kept hoping it would get better. I didn't turn it off, but should have
tedious, tiresome, annoying
Despite a few funny moments, the schtick gets old fast and and at the end you have to ask the question . . Was this worth the time I spent watching it?
