Edwyn Collins: Kaikki on mahdollista (2014). 1h 23m | Not Rated

“I am watching this and wondering why. I have never been a fan of Edwyn Collins – he is a typical pop star of his time. Talentless and simplistic music which appeal to the sort of people who do not like to think about their music. His lyrics are trite and awkward. He does not look particularly good and has zero charisma. How the hell anyone thought him worthy of a documentary like this escapes me totally. Of course it is a tragedy for anyone to suffer a catastrophic brain injury which Collins did but his importance in the music scene is far too much emphasised and the scene has not suffered one jot from his absence. This film is inept in almost every respect – it puts his medical event into no kind of context -we have no idea of how he was before the incident and the viewer becomes disinterested before the story even begins.”
