Is the film worth watching ? I know it has lots of inaccuracies hardly touches his early life shows he bedded Heinz which is fictitious stars a bad actor named James Corden, no Jonathan King, no Freddie Starr, someone playing Joe Meek with a Bristolian accent but does have great music.
I love Joe Meek have every CD that's available on Amazon but to me this films to be like crippling the reputation of a legend. He manufactured Heinz like Simon Cowell does with his groups but Heinz could sing play bass but not guitar and didn't have auto tune.
Meek had so many artists that if they featured them all the film would run for days ! And didn;t he originate from somewhere like Somerset (so a Bristol accent would be appropriate)?
Very few films are totally factual - and probably would be all the more boring if they were.
Thank you for your input ITK. I give it go didn't want to sit through nearly 2 hours of film that be attacking a legend or telling the viewer a different story.
