I Used to Be Famous (2022) review

Washed out musician Vince (Ed Skrein) - who used to be a member of the boy band "Stereo Dream" in the early 2000's - prowls around London trying to get "rediscovered," has a chance encounter with autistic drummer Stevie (Leo Long) and tries to convince the lad and his ultra-protective mother Amber (Eleanor Matsuura) they should perform together as a two-piece called The Tin Men.  I found it a little hard to believe that the apparently world-famous Skrein character can't catch a single break - and hasn't embraced SoundCloud, Spotify or Bandcamp - and the movie itself goes exactly where you'd expect it to go, hitting all the familiar notes (pun intended): Stevie's triggered when a sloshed patron insults them, Vince starts a fight, Amber tells him he can never see her son again, he has a breakdown and rewatches old VHS tapes of his late brother.  If it gets people to look up the stellar drumming by jazz master Jack DeJohnette, there's one positive: that guy can really pound the skins (he's even played with Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock!).
