For a movie that has a lot on the platter, "Hearts Beat Loud" traverses what foreshadows to be rough waters with a calm, realistic paddle. It has the squeaky clean, educational discovery flavour of the "ABC Afterschool Specials" of TV past, without veering towards any convenient conclusions.
I'm glad that one of my favourite song is finally getting the attention it deserves after 8 years after its original publication, even though it needed a whole movie to be materialized around which basically makes a cover of it, but its great nonetheless.The movie was not half bad, with the usual clichés and a super unnecessary lesbian plot line, but the chemistry between the father and daughter was superb.
Frank Fisher runs an honest-to-goodness record store in relatively modern day Brooklyn, and it's about to go under. He's worried, mostly because his daughter Sam is about to go to UCLA for med school, and helping her pay for that is a top priority.
They're not a band and it's not a movie. I suppose the social justice warriors are all voting this up since there is no way it stands on its own.
This has 'nice movie' written all over it.
Boring... No story...
Feel good movies are pretty rare these days - you mean it isn't a comic book movie, mainstream comedy, or Oscar contender? This movie is none of those things.
Hearts Beat Loud is an incredible piece of art that revolves around music and small independent music-making as the film itself is small and independent.
This mixes in many themes from dealing with failure to dealing with death--but the underlying one is pretty simple: follow your dream, seize your opportunity. It's light-hearted all the time, amusing and entertaining.
