A film which puts together a lot of interesting things. Clint Eastwood probably filmed something really personal which influenced him a lot in the past, because otherwise I cannot explain the reason for this small-scale film about, for us, a small band. It was nice that he found some fresh faces for this movie. I also liked how well he showed the American late fifties and early sixties full of laughter, which brought us the famous American smile. All that glitters is not gold, however, and in this case the glitter conceals a pile of dirt that Clint dug into a bit. The references to old movies are nice and Christopher Walken with his visage fitted in nicely. However, this movie’s meanings are lost on us Czechs. At least I think so.

Excellent biography of an excellent musical group that Clint Eastwood recorded as... A gangster film? Yes, that's right. Great acting performances, typically precise “uninvolved observer" directing with a few sensational ideas (driving by the windows of the record label), a plausible retro vibe with lightly highlighted colors, and then music, music and music. During the scene during the closing credits, I regretted that the whole film wasn't a musical, because the relaxing five minutes of dancing was more natural and impressive than all of La La Land.

Clint Eastwood, as a classic and skilled director, successfully handled the biographical film based on the musical of the same name. The film is enjoyable to watch, but on the other hand, there is not a significantly added value. It is simply good, but within the realm of biographical films, it is just a standard that does not offend. However, the musical performances are good, and I finally know who composed and sang these songs.
