Ricki and the Flash (2015 Jonathan Demme)

We find ourselves watching another musical! Meryl Streep rock chick has neglected daughter Mamie Gummer, and sons Sebastian Stan and Ben Platt, comes home to Indiana to help, heals through rock. OK. Diablo Cody wrote it. With Rick Springfield as her Gibson wielding boyfriend, Kevin Kline as ex, Audra McDonald his no nonsense new wife. Film (screenplay) is ultimately rather too easy, but has several moments where things don't quite pan out as you'd expect, which is welcome.

Declan Quinn's your man behind the camera. Real band support Meryl's not bad singing.
