    Unreviewable & Unviewable
    This is the third or fourth try at posting a review of the risible film.

    I've wasted enough time with it that I won't re-write what I tried to post before.,

    Basically, ALL THE 1 & 2 STAR REVIEWS HERE are entirely accurate and I totally concur with all the points made in them about why this film is such a stinker.

    If you believe the 8-10 star reviews check how many other reviews they have posted.. you may find this is the only film they've reviewed which is usually a sign of 'in-house' hype.

    These types of films have a definite conceit about & towards their audience,dealing in dishonest depictions, 'weighted' perspectives and glamorised narcissism mixed with self-loathing. Of course , in the right hands that could produce a decent film about the seedier aspects of the Music INDUSTRY... or you get a film like this instead- devoid of any real substance, deep insight or meaning.

    There's great ENTERTAINING films that do a better job such as That'll Be the Day(1973) -starring David Essex & AdamFaith, and its brilliant sequel STARDUST the following year.

    Or documentaries such as ANVIL and most applicably LAST DAYS HERE about Bobby Liebling, ''lead singer of seminal hard rock/heavy metal band Pentagram, as he battles decades of hard drug addiction and personal demons to try and get his life back''.

    Awful
    Taurus is one of the worst films I have ever seen. As someone who has seen many films depicting mental health & addiction this must be one of the most one dimensional attempts ever made. MGK is desperate to portray himself as a broken angst ridden artist at the best of times. This film feels self absorbed and try hard. The dialogue is awful. The acting even worse. The scenes of drug use felt so text book with empty dialogue which felt meaningless and so Hollywood without any grit or emotion. Even if MGKs character is meant to be depressed I still should have felt some of the internal pain from the character and I felt nothing. There was no substance to anything in this film.
