Critics reviews

More than ideals, what fuels the countercultural zombies in More is the search for money and dope. But unlike other staples of 60s cinema such as Easy Rider, there is no moral nor solution to this existential dilemma. The uneventful and mournful tone should feel at odds with the sun-drenched hippie utopia that was Ibiza in the 60s and yet, somehow, it comes across as the perfect match.

The film plays out like many films about a couple who fall into heroin addiction – the rituals and paraphernalia are all given the usual reverence – but the quite breathtaking beauty of the soon-to-be-obscure 60s starlet Farmer (a female double for David Bowie) and the island itself count for much in the way of recompense.
