Fassbender was brilliant.

I've been excited to see the movie from the start. I love to see him tackle challenging roles. Acting without his face is a challenge but he's a strong physical actor as well.

I never thought it would be a gimmick' with Fassbender involved. A real fan would know this. He takes every character seriously no matter the project.

Thanks for the feedback. I have to wait until August to see it.

I was a bit disappointed that, from an acting point of view, he wasn't really given a great deal to do in "X-Men: Days of Future Past". So, it was very good to see him at his best in this... I thought that maybe it was a little bit too long. But, it's intelligent, gently amusing and rather charming - I really enjoyed it.

Yeah I thought he was great. It's a shame that character wasn't really written as well as it could have been, and the role wasn't as memorable as it could have been. But like you said, it wasn't a gummicky performance and be brought real depth to the role.

The guy is just a great actor and is proving it more and more with every year. All three of his performances with Steve McQueen (Hunger (2008), Shame (2011) and 12 Years a Slave (2013) - if you haven't seen any of these, watch them!) show that the guy is top class and has a great range. I saw this a day after 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' and seeing such different performances was amazing. But the fact that he created such a great character with a big paper-mache head covering his face is something else if you ask me.
His performance in the scenes that you're referring to at the end is almost a separate performance from the rest of the film but in a great way, really showed the effect that the head had on Frank. I wasn't actually expecting the film to delve into the theme of mental illness but felt that it handled it really well and really added to the film and Fassbender's performance without appearing as a gimmick like you said.
It's my favourite film of the year so far but oddly, due to its quirky nature, I can only think of one person that I'd actually recommend it to. Normally people would recommend their favourite film to everyone, wouldn't they.

Fassbender is ALWAYS brilliant.

As unrealistic as it sounds, it would actually be very funny to see Fassbender win an Oscar for "Frank," and give an acceptance speech with the mask on the whole time. Perhaps, even a live performance, there or at The Grammy's, with the entire Soronprfbs band.
