Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll (7.5/10)

"Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll" was probably made just as well as could have been. Ian Dury was a great man in my mind. So seeing a biopic about him that carried his feverish ideals over is very pleasant. There are scenes of utter dread, confusion, boredom, happy bliss and cartoonish dreams. Sounds about right when thinking of Ian Dury. For those who don't know who Ian Dury was, he was one of the craziest and most interesting musicians you could find. He was autistic, spastic, had polio, screwed up family life and looked like a bum. He wasn't a bad man, actually he was very kind, just ignorant of other's wants and needs. Dury once played in bars to become a major player in England's punk scene. Ian is played by Andy Serkis who could have been born for the role. Serkis does a phenomenal job and nails every expression and emotion in all his scenes. He was nominated for a BAFTA (british Oscar) and was very well deserved. The film falls into the familiar biopic territory but don't let that stop you from watch Andy Serkis having a blast playing an actually interesting person (it seems like anybody can get a biopic now a days).

7.5/10
Recommendation: If you got an interest in Ian Dury or the punk culture I'd watch it. Andy Serkis makes this a thrilling ride.
Note: I love that picture
