He\u2019s broken out with \u201cSpace Oddity,\u201d but now what? He\u2019s too niche to be considered mainstream, but still he wants to achieve that rock star status. So, he crosses the pond to meet an enthusiastic publicist, Ron Oberman (Marc Maron), for a tour. Only when Bowie arrives, he learns he can\u2019t actually play in the States, not legally anyway. So, he\u2019s booked a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> of private concerts, at which Oberman will try to talk him up to the right people. Along the way, Oberman tries to navigate their way through the thornier sides of the music industry and America.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>Christopher Bell and Gabriel Range\u2019s story had potential. After all, \u201cStardust\u201d is set in 1971, a crucial moment in Bowie\u2019s career. The trip to the U.S. helped inspire the creation of his Ziggy Stardust persona, one of the earliest reinventions for young David Jones that launched his career into the stratosphere. Bowie could have been a one-hit wonder, a curio who gave us \u201cSpace Oddity\u201d and faded back into obscurity. Yet what makes it to the screen is just that \u2013 the concept. The narrative loses steam as it rolls on, its signs of life fading with every rock star biopic cliche that shows up, from the \u201cpeople just don\u2019t understand\u201d musings to the distressed marriage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the worst of these is the way the movie weaves in Bowie\u2019s half-brother Terry Burns (Derek Moran) as the specter of mental illness, something to torture the film\u2019s sensitive genius and remind him that he could lose his mind just the same. The movie posits that Terry\u2019s therapeutic treatment inspired Bowie to perform as other personas, but by that point in his life, the musician had already studied theater and mime, which the film even makes into a running gag. The audience is supposed to believe that a false cathartic moment with his brother led to the idea of playing different characters on stage? Not likely, but then again, this fictionalized account of Bowie goes west offers little basis in reality.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What is true is that Bowie really did crash land at the Oberman\u2019s family home in Silver Springs, Maryland, in 1971. \u201cDavid Bowie, this is my mother,\u201d Oberman says as he picks the artist up at the airport, leading him not to the nice black car but the green family vehicle parked in front of it. It\u2019s one of a handful of funny moments Maron and Flynn manage in their buddy road trip movie that plays a bit like \u201cDriving Mr. Bowie.\u201d There\u2019s a power differential between the two men, artist and publicist, someone whose career is on the rise and the other who is losing his standing, those who have potential and the people around them who try to get others to see what they see. But the movie never really digs into that.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>Instead, Flynn channels the shadow of a ghost of Bowie. His portrayal is that of a passive wallflower, not a man who knew when to stay silent to keep an air of mystery. His wife Angie (Jena Malone), Oberman, and managers argue over him, but he retreats and pouts that he just wants to be a star. It&#8217;s like a shallow facsimile of the artist. This might be personal projecting, but one doesn\u2019t usually study pantomime to become a rock god. Bowie became a headliner to make the weirdo art he wanted to make. The movie understands that differently.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Maron, for his part, makes the most out of this nothing burger, occasionally injecting some life into a limp story and excellently delivering deadpanned lines, even if they\u2019re of dad-joke quality. His presence props up Flynn\u2019s uncharismatic performance, giving a moment like Bowie\u2019s less-than-stellar pitstop to see Andy Warhol at The Factory some heart. As Oberman, Maron switches gears from feeling dejected over getting left out in the cold to trash talking Warhol to make Bowie feel better that the famous artist wouldn\u2019t talk to him. The \u201cnever meet your heroes\u201d sequence then becomes a genuine discussion about pop art. Maron\u2019s eagerness, sometimes desperation, as Oberman to convince journalists and radio hosts to \u201cgive the kid a chance\u201d is the most convincing performance in the movie.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, Angie Bowie is given a much less charitable treatment. She may be a controversial figure in her husband\u2019s story, but \u201cStardust\u201d really only provides her space to act like a terror, one more power hungry than any of the musicians in the room. She might be the stage wife to outdo all stage wives, at one point barking into the phone at Bowie, \u201cYou can\u2019t come home until you make it.\u201d Poor Malone practically spends all of her time on-screen yelling, scowling, or exerting her control. Angie\u2019s made to be quite the definition of a one-note character, one that smacks of sexist tropes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>The lack of a solid narrative means \u201cStardust\u201d cannot compensate for the production\u2019s modest budget, which lacks a noticeable amount of Bowie songs and includes many scenes filmed on the cheap. A crowd scene of outreached hands is made up of maybe 25 people, numerous driving scenes look like they were filmed in a studio, and so on. This is neither \u201cBohemian Rhapsody\u201d or \u201cRocketman\u201d levels of recreated concerts and dramatized inner demons. This is a rough draft that seems to be missing quite a few elements to make a good idea into a great movie. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Monica Castillo\" src=\"https:\/\/static.rogerebert.com\/uploads\/user\/primary_image\/monica-castillo\/featured_Monica-9254.jpg\" title=\"Monica Castillo\"><\/img><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div><figcaption>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Monica_Castillo\"><\/span>Monica Castillo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Monica Castillo is a freelance writer and University of Southern California Annenberg graduate film critic fellow.
