In the 1930s in Los Angeles there was a smart worker who began working as a chemist, but his dreams seemed fictional, leading him to the existence of American missiles. Parsons used Crowley's teachings of self-realization to support his unimaginable and unprecedented endeavors.

Strange Angel is equally a biopic about a stubborn optimist and a commentary on the trying times in which he existed, and it's substantially more compelling when it's the latter.

Strange Angel could develop into an engrossing adventure... but it's too content early on to dwell on the mundane instead of truly embrace the strange.

It might not work as an elevator pitch, but [Jack] Reynor's brash performance keeps the fuel flowing long enough for a viewer's curiosity to take over.

A reasonably engaging slow burn.

A leisurely arc is that allows for conversations into which exposition is less obviously inserted, and scenes have time to wander before getting to a point.

More tantalizing than satisfying - though it's amply and very watchably tantalizing.

I can say that, on nothing more than an unfulfilled promise and a few well-performed weirdos, I'm sold enough to keep watching this genre-shifting historical fiction -- though I'm not devout enough to spill blood yet.

A quasi-biography about one of the founders of modern jet propulsion and rocket science technology

Nice-looking production that needs -- please excuse the cheesy pun -- a lot more rocket fuel.
