Absolute Beginners Ratings & Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A lively but stinker of a film that features to no avail one of David Bowie's better songs called Absolute Beginnings.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
"Absolute Beginners" ranks as one of David Bowie's greatest songs, and it's just a shame the movie of the same name doesn't come close to matching its glory.
Spectrum Culture
Pat Padua
A spectacular failure.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Though the film is flawed, it's still underrated as an exploration of a crucial era of London's pop culture, and the eccentric cast (including David Bowie) adds a lot of color.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
More interesting for what it attempts than for what it accomplishes.
