Synopsis:

From IMDb: “A look at the New York City punk-rock scene and the venerable nightclub, CBGB.”

Poster: C+

Review: It has something of an Andy Warhol-like vibe, which might play well into the punk rock scene, but I can’t figure out why they even went this direction? Were they restricted on the band likenesses they could use?

Trailer: C-

Review: As much as I enjoy some of the actors in the film, the structure and humor seems dingy and grimy, much like the venue it’s presenting. Even if the film is about a dive, trailers should still have a crispness and vitality that make them seem important even if they aren’t.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
