In an age of shiny, over-produced musical biographies

In an age of shiny, over-produced musical biographies it's a small miracle that a film like this film was made. I love how Nico 1988 focuses on Nico's less glamorous late-career, and I love the warts-and-all approach they use to do it.

Without having personal knowledge this depressing movie appears

Without having personal knowledge this depressing movie appears to present well the final years of Nico, who in the heyday of Warhol’s Factory and Velvet Underground was a remarkable presence and voice. A lifelong addiction to heroin contributed to her premature death in a bicycle accident on the island of Ibiza. Acting and sound are very good. On Tubi. I have seen this film described as documentary; it is not. It includes limited period footage of Nico, but this is a biopic.

This is a quirky biographical music centered drama

This is a quirky biographical music centered drama film about the last year of Nicos life. Its quite an arty, almost clinical and haunting type film at times - for one thing, it has some nice cinematography, interesting camerawork and the central performance by Trine Dyrholm I thought was really quite good. She does seem like someone who has lost her way, who has a lot to work through. I should say I wasn't familiar with the real life story this film portrays. While she undoubtedly made mistakes, I felt concerned for her and curious to see her perform her music to audiences, to get a feel for her 'hey-day'. This is a sad and emotional watch, with some poignant dialogue - its a thought provoking watch. I'd recommend this film to others, yes.
