“When a movie is called ’searingly honest,’ it’s almost invariably grim and demonstrates how bad things can get. Richard Curtis (the director) likes to try to make a searingly honest movie that tells you how good things can be.” LA Times interview with Bill Nighy
Pirate Radio isn’t really a film about music, though the soundtrack is exquisitely chosen and ever present; it’s a film about people who love music… It’s about how perfect life can be when you let it take you where it will, and it’s replete with that joyous creative harmony, that amazing synergy of people coming together for a common cause. It’s really a lovely film.
Go see it! I promise, you will love it.
