Review of Pavarotti

Pavarotti (2019)
7/10
Good apart from Bono
22 July 2019
So me and the opera crowd were sitting there enjoying this positive - perhaps too positive - biopic when up pops Bono.

Sigh. Here's the sweary luvvie Irishman, swearing away, paying tribute YET AGAIN to someone from the world of showbusiness. It really jars. This is just like in Ron Howard's Beatles movie when Whoopi Goldberg comes on. Why does he do it? It's like he thinks, 'Let's bring someone discordant on to swear a bit, that'll do it'.

What have we done to deserve Bono? Can't he just go away forever?

Anyway, film is a decent watch. You can't help but grin along with Luciano.

Pity Gazza isn't in it, though.
