Mainly because it's not told like a straight bio-pic, and has a central focus. The problem with most bio-pic's - is they decide to give you some sort of shortened summarized history of a singer's or actor's or politician's life - and often focus on things like their addiction, their marriages, their kids,ie. personal life, but not on what they did for a living, which is the whole reason there is a bio-pic to begin with
This is an excellent point. And it also highlights one of the reasons I so rarely watch entertainer biopics anymore because I'm so tired of the predictable pattern they follow which is almost always drugs and excess leading to either (a) the end or (b) a recovery and second career phase which is nevertheless not explored.
