Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

The greatest movie ever made..!

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Most people of a certain age will know who Edwyn Collins is even if it's just because they know the 1994 song "I've never met a girl like you before" but not everyone will know his recent life story and a very sad one it is. in 2005, Collins said he felt unwell , two days later he suffered a major cerebral haemorrhage to his brain and his life completely changed . This documentary follows him and his wonderfully supportive partner Grace on part of the long hard road to recovery. Although the story is sad it's quite an uplifting documentary. It's obvious that due to the massive brain injury that Collins will never be the same as he was but that isn't stopping him doing what he loves best. Playing music. This does suffer from being a little bit too arty at times but nonetheless is still a film you should see.

I think the biggest problem people have with this film is that they were expecting a regular documentary about Edwyn. Forget that. The film is designed to reflect his struggle back to health and the result is jaw-dropping. It begins fractured and barely coherent, a series of scattered images on screen - sea, sky, a grainy 16mm image of a walk with a loved one, snippets of half-remembered conversations and lyrics.Make no mistake, this was done deliberately to try and instill in the viewer some tiny amount of the disorientation that Edwyn would have felt - a struggle to think clearly or even construct intelligible sentences. As the film progresses it becomes more linear as we follow the singer's road back to health and his determination to play live once again.Only the most cold-hearted would not be inspired and amazed by his journey - a lovely guy hit by tragedy who lucked out with having an incredible woman by his side.

The first twenty minutes are this really work in an atmospheric, lyrical, poetic sort of way. The same sort of way that Malick films work. Really ambitious and inspired for a documentary. And the whole documentary refuses to bow downy os sentimentality of misery and pain, and instead really highlights the beautiful moments. This film is definitely going to test many people's patience, but considering how bad some films get these days, nor expect for the audience, this is a very, very welcome little surprise and I hope many people are able to seek it out. It's a really grand testament with how it approaches its subject and the subject matter, and definitely recommend it.

I should probably start this review by disclosing that I've been a fan of Edwyn since he released his fantastic solo album "Hope and Despair" in 1989, and have followed his career closely since then.You probably know Edwyn from his song "a girl like you" which was a huge hit in 1995. Less of you will know that he had a stroke 10 years later, leaving him unable to walk, read or write. His speech was also severely affected, "yes", "no", "Grace Maxwell" ( Edwyns wife), and peculiarly, "the possibilities are endless" being the he only words he could say.The film chronicles the story of Edwyns recovery from those harrowing times up to the present day, but not in a standard documentary style, instead using abstract images and audio of Edwyn talking about his experience, creating an eerie atmosphere, perhaps trying to recreate the confusion felt by Edwyn after his stroke.The later part of the film is more straightforward, and not as "arty farty" as Edwyn put it! It shows the extraordinary relationship between Grace and Edwyn, Grace having fought so hard to help Edwyn in his recovery. The bond between the two would melt the hardest of hearts, and is the real star of the movie. It's a love story about them, and to life itself. Don't worry though, it's not a Mills and Boon novel, there is plenty of good humour and bickering between the pair.The filmmakers deserve credit for not going down the mawkish, misery memoir route, which would have been easy to do. Instead they let the the protagonists tell their own story, allowing Edwyn plenty of space to do so.The soundtrack is hauntingly beautiful, using music performed by Edwyn and two of his musical collaborators Carywn Ellis and Seb Lewsley.It's not often a music documentary can move one to tears, but this marvellous film manages it. I defy anyone to watch and not be moved by the remarkable recovery made by Edwyn, and I can't recommend the film highly enough.
