Why yes this is a movie about a man wearing a giant plastic head. Don't worry, there's more to the story, his band of misfits have one goal in mind; to ensure that they never become famous. Until fate would have it they meet an outsider who convinces them to creat "extremely likeable music", and then the real madness ensues. Weird, quirky and original. Armed with a terrific ensemble cast including Michael Fassbender, Domnhall Gleeson, Maggie Gillenhall and Scoot McNairy, 'Frank' is nothing short of a treasure. One of my favorites from a very strong year in film. Even with it's very unusual and even bizarre premise it is remarkably thought-provoking and sincerely heartfelt. Every actor delivers a stong performance and carries their own weight. Near-perfectly written, near-perfectly acted, near-perfectly executed. Easily one of my favorites from a very strong year in film. I recommend this one for anyone who appreciates originality, and thinking outside the box.
