Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll
The Wild Rock-and-Roll Journey of the Legendary Ian Dury
BAFTA nominee Andy Serkis (The Lord of the Rings trilogy) stars in this ripsnorting and unapologetic portrait of mercurial British punk rock pioneer, Ian Dury (Ian Dury and The Blockheads).
Funny, heartbreaking and very rock-and-roll, this directorial debut of The Road to Guantanamo co-director Mat Whitecross chronicles everything from Dury’s troubled childhood and battle with debilitating polio, to the effects of his fame on his relationships and fatherhood.
Also starring Naomie Harris (Pirates of the Caribbean, 28 Days Later), Ray Winstone (Beowulf, The Departed, Sexy Beast), Olivia Williams (The Sixth Sense, Rushmore) and Toby Jones (Harry Potter, Frost/Nixon).

I didn't know very much about Ian Dury and the Blockheads prior to watching this movie. I didn't mind it, but found the storytelling incredibly reminiscent of Bronson and it felt overly-theatric. Perhaps that was the case with Ian Dury. I have no idea if fans of the music would like this movie more than I did. It was okay but I would not revisit it.
