John Martyn: Johnny Too Bad

About This Movie

So, this film, John Martyn: Johnny Too Bad, it's kind of a deep dive into Martyn's life during a tough period. The atmosphere is raw and at times darkly funny, which feels right for a guy like him. You get these glimpses of his home life in Ireland, and it’s pretty candid—he's dealing with the whole leg amputation thing, which, let’s be real, isn’t exactly a light topic. But the way it’s presented, you really get a sense of Martyn’s character. The pacing's a bit meandering, but it kind of works, letting you soak in the moments. Plus, hearing from folks like Phil Collins and Robert Palmer adds layers to the story, showcasing his influence and relationships in the music scene.
