This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
Wham! is a 2023 documentary film about the English pop duo Wham! consisting of George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley. The film marks the 40th anniversary of their 1983 debut album Fantastic.
Directed by Chris Smith it relies primarily on rare archive footage and audio interviews by the duo, including television appearances, concert footage, private home video, behind-the-scenes outtakes, and family comments all linked together using scrapbooks created by Ridgeley's mother. The film was co-produced by Ventureland / Passion Pictures, Nemperor Production, and Library Films with Altitude Film and Netflix serving as distributors.
Wham! had its world premiere at the Sheffield DocFest on 17β18 June 2023 and given a limited theatrical release in the United Kingdom on 27 June. It was reviewed as a cleverly stitched together film, using audio posthumously of Michael and new audio from Ridgeley.
It was released worldwide to stream on 5 July 2023 on Netflix and received generally positive reviews from critics. The film was nominated for a BAFTA Award for Best Documentary.
