Never finishes a song. Pirate Radio （2009）

Little Carl (Tom Sturridge) has led a clustered life (only licked by a cow), and now his mother (Emma Thompson) decided it is time for his real education. In his new environment of perfectly normal associates on Pirate Radio, Little Carl has semi-s-e-x-u-a-l relationships while listening to ’60s/70’s rock. This is a filler film with the lure of fantastic music. This turns out to be a run of the mill coming of age movie. I have to admit that Kenneth Branagh looked like he had fun as the antagonist. Emma Thompson is just as cute and a believable actor as ever. I lived through the real era and enjoyed the music snippets. I only saw the Blu-ray, so I cannot compare it to other presentations. The voiceover commentary usually adds to a film. In this case, it is just a voiceover commentary with no real insight. There are other extras like deleted scenes and BD Live. However, they do not contribute much.
