Believe: The Eddie Izzard Story
The story of one person's triumph over adversity: cameras followed the comedian on a very stressful comeback tour and caught the story behind some of her best loved material en route. Prior to her Sexie tour in 2003 and under extreme pressure to write, she delved into her own life for inspiration. So began an accidental voyage into her past that paralleled her world tour and culminated in a moment of revelation about the source of her relentless drive. Film contains exclusive never-before-seen footage including the famous 'wolves' material, Izzard's first student sketches and unicycle-riding as a street performer in Covent Garden. Hilarious and moving by turns, an inspiring tale of how tragedy can be turned to laughter.

An extraordinary black comedy that explores the limits of survival and absurdist political power games. The story takes place in times of elections in Mexico. A candidate for Governor runs over a pregnant migrant. After the accident, and to avoid a possible scandal, he hides her in a building he owns. Pressured by his political boss and so as not to ruin his political career, the candidate evicts the migrant. In a non-realistic style, the film focuses on the stories that surround the migrant during her search for a room. A radical film, with a critical gaze, that reflects the spirit of contemporary Mexican society.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Starting into "Who killed Johnny?", what I was expecting was a solidly made trash movie, that provides me with a bizarre scenario and light entertainment.Unfortunately the actual movie didn't really meet that. While I was even a bit surprised that the production itself looked pretty good in terms of visual criteria, the story left me behind questioning.First of all it is not really consistent to name this movie "Who killed Johnny", since this question not only never gets answered during the movie, it doesn't even really get raised. The Johnny Depp double is only visible during a minor amount of the screen time and you could have even left this whole side plot out without losing anything of importance.While not being a firework of gags, from time to time characters were presented that just didn't seem to fit the general tone at all. The introduction of Jambo and Gudrun, as well as the Dealer just leaves you wondering what they were supposed to tell us.Even though the end didn't come as a total surprise and only after a climax of maximal length, I still found it somewhat nice how the two layers of the movie were led together. Unfortunately, this isn't enough to make up for all the strange attempts before. There's always a chance that I simply don't get the message but to be honest this one just felt kind of random.

SPOILER ALERT: I watched this 90 minute film for 50 minutes before turning it off because there was absolutely no story. None. Did I mention this is a SPOILER? Nothing happened until a body suddenly appeared in the street and the lame, undeveloped characters hauled it into their lavish Beverly Hill home for some reason. SPOILER ALERT, if you haven't noticed. The only consistency is that the characters, like the director and writer, are young, spoiled, Swiss, and complaining to one another that they cannot write a film. This is an incredible irony, because they failed to write a film in real life. Is this some incredibly funny joke that only Europeans understand?

Who Killed Johnny from my perspective was an inconsistent film veering from the bizarre, supposedly hilarious to extremely dramatic. It would have worked better if there had been consistency between these various aspects yet it simply leaves you questioning what you saw.Who Killed Johnny as a comedy relied heavily on visual gags which felt either flat or clichéd. These took place through Melanie and Max processing scenarios for their proposed script with characters of different features and persuasions imagined for comic intent but with no satisfying results. The visual gags which felt like clichés were the appearances of Jambo and Gudrun, an interracial couple. Jambo with his afro and very tight Y-fronts along with Gudrun's large breasts and luscious behind were emphasised for their visual humour. I assume it was meant to be hilarious yet it felt bland.Characterisation within Who Killed Johnny never felt truly elaborated. Although Melanie and Max did have chemistry with each other along with their relationship towards Jambo and Gudrun, Who Killed Johnny transitioning between real life and scenarios within their script warped characterisation because it was never given strong focus. Even after Who Killed Johnny's central narrative point occurred there was more reliance on comic moments rather than strong characterisation. Though some may feel comic moments are adequate within Who Killed Johnny, its lack of characterisation as a result did not make me invest into Who Killed Johnny's narrative.As Who Killed Johnny's narrative continued to become more inconsistent, it was another clause for my viewing displeasure. Who Killed Johnny became more outlandish and switched directions especially in its climax where I was left questioning my viewing experience. The continuous inconsistency was Who Killed Johnny's most critical flaw which hindered it as a whole.
