Hunky Dory

When rehearsals finally give way to full, unconventional production numbers, it's hard to imagine any way Hunky Dory could get much better.

Don't expect more than a passing summer breeze.

Marc Evans's Hunky Dory is sentimental, sweet-natured and daft as a brush.

Director Marc Evans's monotonous style keeps the film earthbound.

As emblematic of the film’s general indifference as anything is Driver’s central, perfectly fine performance.

The picture draws only slight entertainment value from the spectacle of youngsters warbling 1970s pop tunes, like a retro version of “High School Musical” with less charm.

Laurence Coriat's shapeless script...pads its overlong running time with standard teen trauma — band squabbles, girl betrayals, skinhead brothers — that saps the audience's energy before the grand finale.
