2017 1h 33min An engrossing biopic about Nico, the Velvet Underground singer and Andy Warhol protege. The film covers the last year of the stars life where she struggles with a number of issues--drug addiction, being taken seriously as a musician, dealing with her past, and trying to reconnect with her son. Trine Dyrholm does a brilliant job portraying Nico who is a character you can empathize with. It also stars John Gordon Sinclair as her faithful manager. He's one of those actors that make you say, "He looks really familiar. What have I seen him in?" We follow Nico on tour playing small venues, staying in third-rate accommodations, and performing with some sub-par musicians. I'm not a big fan of biopics in general, but when it comes to an intriguing personality I know next to nothing about, I give it a shot. In this case, I'm glad I did.
4 out of 5 stars
