I Used to Be Famous 2022

Mercifully better than Music in its portrayal of autism! This is largely thanks to Leo Long who plays Stevie as this talented new actor is on the autistic spectrum himself. The script is a little weak in places but the movie still manages to be inspirational.

Heartwarming and brilliant. It had a nice viewpoint and loved the acting and scene changes. I'd love to see more of this story! It would make a great series.

That was a lovely film with a heart within it with a mix of emotions that hit and happy the way it ended, all the cast did well together and i love Electric music, definitely give the film even more of a good vibe.

The film does a really nice job navigating waters that have been traversed by other films that came before it. The focus is on the characters and not the disability. Because of this, the viewer is left with a sense of empowerment rather than feeling sorry for the characters. It doesn't hurt that the final scene is excellent. It was a very sweet little film and I enjoyed watching it.

The movie grew on me very fast. I was diagnosed with Aspergers when I was 18 (36 now). It's such a great choice to give Leo Long this role. He's not playing a neurodivergent person, he actually is one. Loved the performances by Ed Skrein and Eleanor Matsuura too.

Will it win any awards?
No, never!!!!
But do you know what, this is a great little movie, nicely paced and doesn’t fall in to the usual troops.
Yes it’s predictable but In an acceptable way, it also leaves itself open to a possible 2nd film as long as they can take the story forward without being to cliche…..
All the characters still have storylines to follow and expand on.

But your come away from watching this film feeling good, happy and dare I say a spring in your step…….
