MPR's Movie Maven Stephanie Curtis joins Steve Seel and Jill Riley to talk about a new music-based comedy from director Lenny Abrahamson.

Frank is about a young wannabe musician, Jon (Domhnall Gleeson), who finds himself out of his depth when he joins an avant-garde pop band led by the mysterious and enigmatic Frank (Michael Fassbender), a musical genius who hides himself inside a large plastic head, and his terrifying bandmate Clara (Maggie Gyllenhaal).

Stephanie praises the performances of all the lead actors, including Fassbender for his rockstar vocals and Gyllenhaal's turn as an art-school snob. Also notable is that the actors are all actually playing the music heard in the film. Listen to the complete audio above to hear Stephanie's full review.

Frank is rated R and is playing at the Landmark Lagoon Cinema in Minneapolis.
