Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Fine biopic which showcases a brilliant performance by Busey as Holly, and conveys a real, raw feeling for the music. The opening sequence, for example - a roller-rink gig to a stunned Hicksville audience - was done 'live' and it shows. Streets ahead of most rock celluloid.Author: CA
