Film choices
Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (Eric Appel, 2022), The Roku Channel
If you’re looking for an emotionally raw biopic telling the true story of the US parody songsmith, you’ve come to the wrong place. Eric Appel’s mock-heroic comedy is a proudly ridiculous rewriting of Yankovic’s history, from his “coming out” as an accordion player and writing Eat It – the original song that Michael Jackson stole for Beat It – to becoming a power couple with a manipulative Madonna (Evan Rachel Wood). Daniel Radcliffe is a left-field choice to play Al but nails the deadpan humour and naive joy as his witty lyrical rewrites of pop hits bring fame but also heartache. Simon Wardell
Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me (Alek Kekishian, 2022), Apple TV+
“How do I learn how to breathe my own breath again?” We’ve all been there, right? But ludicrous psychobabble aside, this documentary is a raw insight into the pitfalls of getting too much, too soon. Gomez rocketed to fame as a child, courtesy of the kids’ TV show Barney & Friends, and has subsequently branched out into music. However, in 2014, she was diagnosed with lupus and then, in 2020, with bipolar. The main problem? “My whole life, since I was a kid, I’ve been working.” This film tracks her recovery. PH
