Set in Brixton, this tale of a wannabe Kurt Cobain who skips his chemotherapy is deeply uninteresting and unconvincing
Here’s a charmless
comedy drama set in Brixton,
London, about the lead
Singer of a crap rock band (called the Undefined) who gets diagnosed with throat
cancer. He is the horrifically irritating Aaron (Alex Gillison), a man with the unwinning combination of a Kurt Cobain haircut, eyeliner and Russell Brand’s fondness for a chest-exposing T-shirt. Despite having practically nothing interesting to say he is forever
BREAKING the fourth wall to bang on to the camera in grandiose mockney.
Aaron formed the Undefined in secondary school with his mates. Now in their mid-20s, they’re still playing gigs in local dives to audiences of underage kids with fake IDs. But the band is Aaron’s life, so when his oncology consultant – a candidate for cinema’s least convincing medic – explains that chemotherapy is not compatible with his lifestyle, Aaron skips his treatment. “What’s more important, rock’n’roll or life?” his on-off girlfriend implores.
