Almost Famous
I really like it, overall. (the youthful thrill of discovery, the vague sadness/joy of being a wallflower in such an exhilarating culture, the phenomenal rendering of the '70s rock scene, penny and russell's extraordinary seductive powers, that incredible sexual energy. lester bangs, phenomenally quotable, a hero but also a loser, one of the great side characters I've seen, and it was ; downsides- the mom character really gets annoying, just a little too over the top; some of the moments are very masturbatory, and occasionally the characters, when their minds are changed, just don't convince me, their mood transitions or their justifications don't feel real.)
