I have watched this movie at the Lausanne Underground Film & Music festival and front up I loved it all the way. For me these kind of films are more experience than narrative focused. I'd say it feels more like a gritty feature music video than anything with a classical narrative structure - that is only the loose frame here. It is a movie to be definitely experienced in a cinema with the master volume blasting away the roof. Very much in the likeness of films such as "Enter the Void" or "Bliss". This film absolutely lives through the music, it's visuals and the stunning performance of Barry. It has a heart warming twist at the end, but still I doubt this film is meant for a romantic couple evening film than it is for a hardcore roller coaster ride at the theme park.
