Biopics on musicians tend to have extremely high expectations in my mind. Ian Dury was my childhood icon and I'm only 22, so I will sadly never be able to fully understand how important he was to the people in the 1970's. But I think he has made some of the most catchiest songs ever made that sound pure "Geezer", much like the man himself.
Andy Serkis played Dury to a tee. He was phenomenal and captured the wildness that was "Ian Dury & Blockheads", and all throughout the movies length it captured the nutty, crazy feel of the bands music. An honourable mention also goes to Bill Milner, playing Baxter Dury very well also. In conclusion, pretty much everything that happens on screen feels authentic and loyal to Dury, and if that isn't what biopic's are about, what is?
Final Verdict: Even to this day, I'm pretty much still listening to Ian Dury & the Blockheads. This film is a perfect slice of the Cake of Liberty. 6/10.
