As for the movie, I'm really torn. The greater the artist, unless their story is compelling and unknown as well, the more you sit there just wishing you were watching the artist him or herself. And if the portrayal is off even a little, whether through narrative or through performance, it just gets exponentially worse.
Even the best bio-pics, I'd usually prefer a documentary.
Speaking of which, I've pimped it before, but if it's music and the artists who make them you love, you must see '20 Feet from Stardom'
No matter what, I guarantee the experience of 20feet will give Rhapsody a run for it's money, and that's not a knock on the movie or the band. The documentary is just that good.
I've spent the majority of my life either performing or listening to music, engaging through the years at varying levels of attention and fervor. At this point, I am disquieted to be awake without music going on somewhere somehow in my vicinity. But nothing changed my perspective on so much of what I knew but didn't really know like 20feet.
