These movies are always a failure and an embarrassment - especially with regard to this as it's been factually documented so extensively. Royalty dividends on accompanying soundtrack might be useful to pay for hip replacements for some of the lesser known characters( if they get a look-in ) ... other than that, there's little point to this. The Germs and Runaways movies were painful enough.

looking forward to seeing this..
A mate just saw it at a press screening in Prague ''..awful..every biopic cliché in the book''. And now he has to look the director and lead actors in the eye while he interviews them
Kinda what I expected.
''Wait till you see the buttock-clenchingly cringy appearance of "John Peel"'
Folk Hibernia is pretty ace, few years old now but definitely worth a watch for anyone interested in Irish folk/trad etc.

"On the surface, Good Vibrations might appear to be a rather traditional bio-pic, but its fascinating real life-story of Terri Hooley, the one-eyed Godfather of Punk in Northern Ireland, also offers a powerful snapshot of the terrible times of Belfast in the 1970s, and a vision of how music can make a difference."
"The accents mean subtitling will be likely even in most English-speaking territories ...."
