The brilliant display of talent, both of screenplay and writing was matched eloquently with the life of famous rock band INXS.
In particular, it was refreshing to see a balance between the stories of the other band members entwined with the history of Michael Hutchence. The story was well considerate of all aspects of the bands rise to fame, and perfectly incorporated them into an intricate web of unmissable scenes that give the film substance and fluidity.
In addition, Luke Arnold (as Michael Hutchence)was so convincing, it became difficult to separate him from the real thing. Samantha Jade (as Kylie Minogue) was another sensation to the cast, although not much in physical likeness to Kylie, her portrayal and vocal ability was remarkable. Jade was so professional in her portrayal that Kylie Minogue herself congratulated the young star (via Twitter) for her respectful depiction.
A fantastic production worth watching again. Part 2 should be well worth the wait. 9 out of 10 stars.
