I Used to Be Famous (2022 Eddie Sternberg & co-scr)

A not very good film is not very well-written and doesn't really have an ending.

Ex-pop star Ed Skrein happens to meet autistic drummer Leo Long and they start a band (of somewhat dubious quality). Mum Eleanor Matsuura disapproves. (When she tells Skrein she doesn't want him to see her son again it doesn't make any sense.) Meanwhile former band mate Eoin Macken may be helpful but former slimy manager Neil Stuke definitely isn't. With Naomie Ackie as a slenderly-written bargirl, Lorraine Ashbourne, Kurt Egyiawan as enthusiastic drum therapy teacher.

A Netflix film.
