Crock of Gold: A Few Rounds With Shane MacGowan Reviews
A little bit heartbreaking, but nobody's life but his, to do with as he chose. The man is gone but his music lives on and I was deeply moved.
Not knowing squat about a group and then watching this movie. #FAN4LIFE, I love Shane - I love the pogues. I'd watch it again in a heartbeat.
Not enough music in it.
Incredible animation and marvelous on how to revive the life of an extraordinary and complex musician.
One word to describe this: INCREDIBLE.
Brilliant & unguarded doc on an essential Irish poet. This is a pretty great place to start if you aren't too aware of Shane. But Johnny Depp & his fake accent once again wear out their welcome when the only truthful human is the one the documentary is about.
An attempt to glorify and excuse the putridness of addiction under a cloak of "artistry" and the lament of "well, he's Irish, after all" falls flat and left me with nothing but pity for the man and all those who fall victim to accepting this as a essential part of the artistic process instead of what it is, a broken crutch that assists them in hobbling over the finish line.
It is flawless. A MUST see. Compelling from beginning to end. Masterfully weaves a tale that draws you in. Genius at using the music to accentuate the story. Respect for Ireland and Shane.
Nothing to date had been complete in displaying Shane Macgowans true genius and struggles. This was a great leap forward.
