'Suzy Q' sure has some stuff going for it. Crazy and fun camera angles (lots of close-ups), colorful characters and a story of intimate family woes (plus a chance meeting with none other than Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithful - at least, I'm assuming it's not a dream) in a big Dutch city. But in those very ingredients I missed a lot; the story is more like a clutter of little (unfinished) stories, the characters are rather one dimensional (though the acting is overall pretty good - the young Carice van Houten deserves a special mention) and often over the top in a bad way (the mother and her up beat behavior, the 'wise' guitar playing brother) and at some point I was wishing the director had tried a little less hard to make every next shot 'extra very special'.
Very much a hit-and-miss type of film (a little too much of the latter, unfortunately), yet all in all still worth a watch. 5 out of 10.
