Aaron that is a bit micro-minded. the person just tried something new and you bash them for it. I have done that a lot, just clicking a documentary or a film and found i was less interested than i thought i would be. Then there're the times i found i was more interested than i thought.

God forbid not everyone is interested in things you are interested. personally i love JMB's work, but the movie is slow to develop and uneventful dialog all around. a bad movie is a bad movie regardless of subject matter.

Jeffrey Wright is spot on in JMB's speech and mannerisms. For proof look up some interviews on the web (YouTube for starters). I agree somewhat with some reviewers about the pace of the movie . However one must remember the subject didn't dramatically cut off his ear for a prostitute and of course there's no blowing things up or dismembered teens at a party (though there IS a little CGI throughout). The guy was a simply great modern artist nothing more nothing less. I did enjoy the film as I didnt't know much about him but BECAUSE of the film I began researching him- which I think a good bio-pic SHOULD do- INSPIRE! All star cast too!

Bad hair extensions. Then there is a shot of his clothed ass when he visits his mother in the home.
