Frank (film)

Frank is a 2014 comedy-drama film directed by Lenny Abrahamson and starring Michael Fassbender as the title character, along with Domhnall Gleeson, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Scoot McNairy. The film premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. It was released theatrically in Ireland on 2 May 2014 and on DVD and On-Demand on 12 September 2014. It was released in cinemas in the United Kingdom on 9 May 2014.

Plot

Walking along the beach of his hometown, Jon (Domhnall Gleeson), an aspiring songwriter, witnesses police trying to save a man from drowning himself. Jon makes small talk at the scene with a stranger named Don (Scoot McNairy). Don says he manages an experimental rock band, the Soronprfbs, and the suicidal man is the band's keyboardist. Jon mentions that he plays keyboards, and Don invites him to fill in for the incapacitated keyboardist at the band's show that night.

Jon arrives to find the concert already in progress, but Don pushes him onstage to a waiting keyboard. Despite his unfamiliarity with the unorthodox music, Jon's performance goes well — for half a song, at which point Clara (Maggie Gyllenhaal) breaks her theremin and storms offstage, ending the show.

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again review – feta fever dream sequel is weirdly irresistible

The Guardian 17 Jul 2018

“If I had to do the same again, I would my friend, because quite frankly it’s a licence to print money.”. That first film made me break out in a combination of hives and bubonic plague. And to be honest, this new one does have the original film’s plotless melange of feelgoodery, an exotically amorphous jellyfish of a film which is periodically zapped with the million-volt shock of a zingingly brilliant Abba tune....
