Frank

— “Frank” is certainly an oddity. A little absurd and quite a bit weird, but pretty delightful too, even if more than a couple of times I seemed to be the only person laughing in the sparse audience. It’s an odd tale of odd people, of musicians, creativity, and emotional issues. Amazingly, insanity evolves into a something a bit more serious and the film ends with care. The cast of bruised and borderline personalities still seems a bit peculiar, but no longer over the edge. This was fun if you’re even vaguely prone to like this sort of thing.
