In the beginning I realy like the tempo of the film but towards the end it became a bit "still".

I had a hard time to understand the role of the model's, director's and many other character parts of the plot. They've been abandonded and reintroduced many times throughout the film. In the end I was left unanswered, and I still doesn't understand why those characters were important for the plot.

There's a slight chance that I wasn't that observant but I have a feeling that the director/writer had to cut huge subplots from the book to fit the length to a reasonable one.

Should’ve probably been either more complicated or way less but it was just enough for me to really enjoy this although I do wish there was a little more. The book and musical are legitimate masterpieces and this is pretty close but ends up just being a beautiful, well shot and well acted movie version that is so good it feels wrong calling it the worst version of this story. So freaking excited to see the musical with my dad in a few weeks Brandon Uranowitz is one of my favorite Broadway actors and Joshua Henry is genuinely spectacular in every video I’ve seen of him (also Coalhouse Walker Jr is just top 5 characters of all time in general). Really missed some of the featured historical figures from the book who are more featured in the musical such as Emma Goldman, Henry Ford, and Harry Houdini, as well as like all of Tateh’s plotline but I think that would’ve just complicated things more and made it an overall less effective movie as far as Coalhouse’s story goes.

Score is still amazing even though it will never beat:
“His fingers stroke those keys, and every note says ‘please,’ and every chord says ‘turn my way.’ I thought I knew what love was but these lovers play new music, haunting me, and somehow taunting me, my love was never half as true, and I ask myself why can’t I sing it too?”

A great ensemble cast lifts this story a notch.
