Working Class Boy
Description
During that thrilling story, there seems to be a bright side in the life of the famous star Barnes. The film tells the story of Barnes' memoirs. It seems to be an impressive and realistic look at the story of his childhood survival in the slums of Glasgow, immigration to Australia, and how he became the lead singer of that period of his initially unstable life.

Because this is a movie about a rock star, not a book, we need a performance. Well, every song Barnes does for this film is worth the price of entry.

Never mind all the hits, never mind the brilliance as a singer of soul, blues and ballads, apart from rock; the man has enormous reserves of strength. That's so attractive on screen: he has survived.

Instead, this feels like a feature-length edition of Who Do You Think You Are? as Barnes revisits his childhood homes and recounts episodes in his life when he witnessed domestic violence, extreme poverty and severe alcoholism.
