A great film, if difficult to watch due to the bad language, but at least it's true to life and has not had the awful Hollywood touch.
Good to hear the old tunes and see Meek's genius and sometimes horrible nastiness. I hadn't realised that Ritchie Blackmore was one of his musicians, or MItch Mitchell (if briefly).
He didn't rate the Beatles when he heard their promo tape from Epstein! His drug taking (not shown in the film) and paranoia/depression, homosexuality for which he was arrested, as well as debts, caused him to accidentally kill his landlady and end his own life.
The actor playing Meeks is fantastic but often difficult to understand, due to his Gloucestershire accent, which fluctuates and changes quite a lot.
