Bowie: The Final Act review – moving and enjoyable tribute to music legend’s last stand

-

Singer’s final decades can’t really be called his creative golden years but there are touching contributions from his collaborators

It feels like the Bowie nostalgia industry is getting out of hand, what with London’s V&A Storeroom opening its David Bowie Centre this year, comprehensive 2022 documentary Moonage Daydream and 2017 BBC show David Bowie: The Last Five Years, among others. So this new film covering Bowie’s final decades could be a tough sell for non-completists: the 90s and 00s were not, let’s be honest, the Bowie’s golden years, creatively or reputationally. After his perpetual self-reinvention during the 70s and early 80s, fans were somewhat baffled by his new band Tin Machine, which critic Jon Wilde dismissed as “glorified pub rock” in his scathing Melody Maker review (even Wilde shakes his head as he reads it out again here; the last line is: “You’re a fucking disgrace.”)

It’s not all doom and gloom, though, even if Bowie seemed to be following the zeitgeist rather than leading it - not least with his short-lived foray into drum & bass. The narrative almost acknowledges as much with frequent flashbacks to the halcyon days, and Bowie’s lifelong fascination with outer space the through-line. And there are enjoyable contributions from the likes of Tony Visconti, Rick Wakeman, Dana Gillespie, Hanif Kureishi, and guitarists Earl Slick and Reeves Gabrels.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
