“Directed by Gabriel Range, a filmmaker more known for his political dramas and documentaries, this movie didn’t just have to measure up to Oscar winners, but to answer pointed questions: Could a David Bowie biopic work without his family’s authorization? Could a musician’s story be good without using any of his music?”
