I was really excited for this film, but I was fairly disappointed. It looked great but I didn't feel anything for the characters and at times it felt closer to melodrama and as points comedy from the absurdity of the tragedy.
I also found Efron's transformation to be extremely distracting. Most of the time he was on screen I was wondering if the other actors were feeling the same way as me.
I feel the movie had a lot of…
Really powerful film and great score again. Mark Clennon feels astonishingly natural. He doesn't feel like he's acting, he feels like he just is. M.H. Murray's story is astonishing. It's inspiring to see this Canadian access. The ramping tension comparison to Uncut Gems is apt.
I got to see them play for $12 in a packed little bar and it was amazing. This just made me miss that intimate experience and listening to July Talk.
It was a great insight into the band and how covid affected musicians. It does have the narrative convention that usually bothers me about docs where they hint at something or explicitly state something has changed but ignore it for 20 minutes until they decide to tell you.
I get it's used to build tension, but it always feels so apparent when it's done that it takes me out of the experience.
