Mediocre.

The artificial opening doesn't really help the film move forward. The two walks that are completed before the real story can begin are quite whiny, especially Ruffalo's character seems rather unsympathetic. A bit strange, because after that there isn't really much focus on drama.

Instead, a feel-good film about semi-hipster figures who are going to record a pop album, against the industry. An event in which everything actually goes well. They find enthusiastic artists who give up their jobs for little or nothing to participate, the untalented daughter turns out to be a talent, the rapper from the past finances the album because good-natured ... oh well, it is. feel good.

A bit of a shame that in the end some relationships have to be dissolved quickly. Started a bit too late apparently, because even during the credits they keep going for a while. More unfortunate is that the music is bland and tasteless. Nice, those artists who resist commercial pop and then ... make commercial pop. Ruffalo as producer...no thanks. I wouldn't have given it a dollar.

Oh well, the feel good in the second part still works reasonably well. The cozy atmosphere during the recordings gives the film a little extra, but it has not become much more than a simple film with poor music and one-dimensional characters.

2.5*

Nice movie. Natural acting and a story that captivated me. I think the music and the performances are a nice aspect and the film is atmospheric and it contains romance, without being gooey. Delicious. 4*
