Reviews
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
addsiegel This movie was comedy versus drama mediated perfectly with music. A wonderful film.
courtney_london This adorable little movie is a good, light watch on Netflix that stars some pretty great actors that make you laugh throughout the movie. Zoe Lister-Jones is actor, writer, director and producer of the film and also wrote some of the songs for the movie (how adorable right!?). The dynamic between Lister-Jones and co-star Adam Pally (who plays Peter Prentice in The Mindy Project, which is amazing) is funny, quirky and ultimately a good representation of a realistic relationship in current day. The movie starts with a simple "music will save our marriage" plot but as you discover more about the underlying issues the couple faces, the simple/unrealistic solution is avoided and a "more accurate" resolution of feelings becomes more pronounced. The drama/conflict in the movie, although realistic, is not all that dramatic (I mean this as it is not an over-the-top problem that you see in some rom-com's) so it does not make you HAVE to watch the movie. Corny and quirky at times, but has a cute, adorable nature that will have you enjoying the 91 minute story.
Laura Wood This film was such a pleasant surprise. It was really refreshing to watch two people who could be from my life and to have conversations that seemed real. Not clichéd or cheesy. The chemistry between the lead characters is incredible. I had to google to see if they really were in a relationship! Much enjoyed Friday night in, kind of uplifting film.
joby-75161 Band aid filled the void for me started by La La Land. It took them all of 30 secs to establish what this movie was about. I related and understood the characters almost immediately. This was the movie I had been waiting for. Two artists living in L.A. trying to make it. The acting was superb. This is what you can create if the actors already know and trust each other.(I'm guessing) Zoe Lister-Jones was beautiful. So many Beautiful moments like when she gets the idea that they should form a band, was so done so well. The only part of the movie I did't love (spoiler) was there first open mic scene where she had too much to drink and does a bunch of penis jokes. The crowd in the theater ate it up so... The songs, music was great. The acting was so real, and the feeling that these two people really love each other came through. Fred Armisen was hilarious in the most Fred Armisen way. Not just a cameo. It was very satisfying comically. I know this movie was a big hit at Sundance, which peeked my interest but Zoe Lister Jones and Adam Pally really have created a masterpiece. I will watch it again soon.
