A young wannabe musician, Jon (Domhnall Gleeson), finds himself out of his depth when he joins an avant-garde pop band led by the mysterious and enigmatic Frank (Michael Fassbender), a musical genius who hides himself inside a large fake head, and his terrifying bandmate Clara (Maggie Gyllenhaal)

"Frank is a genuine original in a summer sea of sameness, and a darkly comedic manifesto against the cultural status quo."

"A delightful, oddball surprise."

"Frank is a true original, a film that heads in one direction only to veer off in another, yet never loses sight of where it's going."

"This terrific and sublime experience, and strikingly original film, is mandatory watching for the adventurous viewer."

"Dreams of rock stardom become a warped reality in this barking-mad but affecting comedy about the side-effects of being a non-conformist genius."

"Helmer Lenny Abrahamson (“Garage,” “Adam & Paul”) puts the pic’s eccentricity to good use, luring in skeptics with jokey surrealism and delivering them to a profoundly moving place."

"Mr. Abrahamson’s main achievement, enabled by the sensitive and resourceful cast, is to find a tone that is funny without flippancy, sincere without turning to mush."
