Movie Review: The Sparks Brothers (2021)

“In a movie a life can be summed up in a word

It's a useful, dramatic device

In the real world, with real flesh and real blood

One word is never, ever enough” – “Rosebud” by Sparks

Film director Edgar Wright’s first documentary is a labor of love, as man, this dude has a serious love jones for Sparks. He might love them as much as I do. And if you like or love Sparks, then you’ll probably love this film. Nevertheless, a film that truly takes on the entirety of 50+ year, 25 albums (and counting) career of the group helmed by Ron (keyboards/songwriting) and Russell (singing/eventually engineer) Mael may seem a bit much to the uninitiated.
