Bound for Glory (1976). The early life of Woody Guthrie as a vagabond folk singer.

As far as bio pics go, this one's just okay. It's got some great shots and a pretty rambling pace, which works well given the story, but David Carradine is oddly charmless as Woody and never quite captivates in the way that you'd hope he would. It's a bit of a shame, as it does feel like a better actor could've elevated the script into a better film overall. 6/10.

You can dream of a moment for years and still somehow miss it when it comes. You've got to reach through the flames and take it or lose it forever.

Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anywhere (1974). A recently widowed woman is on the road with her precocious young son, determined to make a new life for herself as a singer.

Oh, man, I loved this movie. I’m not sure why that surprised me so much – I do thoroughly enjoy Scorsese, haha, but he doesn’t exactly have the best track record with female characters. Ellen Burstyn though is magnetic as the titular Alice, and this roadtrip movie thrives as it explores her relationship with herself, her son and men more broadly. It’s funny, oozes charm and charisma, and is just genuinely a pretty wonderful film. Watch it! 9/10.
