Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll (2010)
Ian Dury of the Blockheads gets his own rock biopic staring Andy Serkis. I always wonder why there is such a tendency towards making biopics of rock stars but in this instance Ian Dury is a really interesting subject for a biopic as he caught polio at a young age and was left disabled for life.
Even if like me you are not a fan of Dury's work or even unaware of it before seeing this film it is still a really good watch. The main focus of the film is how being disabled at a young age affects Dury's relationships and music. There are good performances from the cast, especially Andy Serkis who does a really good job in the over the top, energetic sections of stage performances.
Well worth a watch 4/5
