    The whole thing feels strangely pedestrian, unable to capture or channel Bowie's maverick spirit.

    A by-the-numbers biopic that does a disservice to its star and subject, and sorely missing a killer soundtrack. Watch The Man Who Fell To Earth instead.

    A nice idea, hampered by circumstance and execution. There will no doubt be many films made about David Bowie and the impact he had on the world. They do well to avoid Stardusts mistakes.
