I finally got a chance to see Leonard Cohen – I’m Your Man.  I’m not a big fan of biopics, and I am also not a big fan of U2, so I was prepared to love this less than I should. 

I didn’t.

This is a really brilliant and lovely movie.  It has the haunting, sweet, funny qualities of one of his songs and it isn’t hurt–as I was afraid it would be–by the folk who come after him paying tribute.  (Still, why anyone would have Bono cover a Leonard Cohen song is beyond me.)

See this.  Really.
