watched this the way punks intended (half drunk)
14 year old me would become obsessed with this
Petit banger
Lmao. The music was so terrible it was awesome. Allegedly set in 1993 but really spiritually was 2017. Perfect 155 core Josiah would love this music
i do wish it could have been a bit more subtle in some aspects, because the subtlety is what made it work when it did
i laughed i cried i rocked out, a sweet film
Absolutely packed with great music, cool animation, 90s angst. Good stuff.
The animation and its imperfections grew on me as the movie progressed and I ended up being super invested in the story, it's easy to get attached to the characters and it's pretty moving; and I also really loved the songs!
On dirait une animation newground de 1h30, donc j'aime bcp meme si c'est évidemment très imparfait
L'esthétique est cohérente avec le scénar en vrai c'est cool
Bien edgy, bien contestataire et tt bref voilà
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
loved the stream of consciousness animation style, the music was fun, and the lil inclusion of residential school history was important and good!

Super corny but completely unapologetic and comitted. The songs are awesome and the bittersweet/melancholic atmosphere makes for a complete package. Pure Punk.
Me ha parecido ESPECTACULAR, osea un musical punk rock en los 80????? Sign me the fuck up
Los personajes son tan únicos y tan reales, el estilo me ha encantado y aunque la animación sea claramente low budget, está perfectamente aprovechada para transmitir lo que necesita y en ningún momento pierde el encanto o la personalidad
Las canciones originales son espectaculares, la película entera es un enorme álbum conceptual creado con muchísimo cariño
