premise:

Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll is a 2010 biographical film about English new wave musician Ian Dury, starring Andy Serkis as Dury. The film follows Dury's rise to fame and documents his personal battle with the disability caused by having contracted polio during childhood. The effect that his disability and his lifestyle have upon his relationships is also a focal point of the film.[1] The title of the film is derived from Dury's 1977 7" single, "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll".

sad in places, especially the abuse at boarding school by teachers/students because of his disability.
but also uplifting because of his continual positive attitude of 'winning against the odds'.
biopic covers his life up till the release of his  highly controversial "spasticus autisticus" single from the mid 1980s.

Rating:  3/5
