Touches You
everything you have heard about this movie is true.
There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
I like movies about music, and while this film offered no surprises in the story it was still enjoyable due to the strong performances from the two male leads. Luke Perry is a great fit for his role as the former rock star with a tragic past. Nick Galitzine does very well as the shy teen who just wants to play music, even though he has to hide his love of music from his mom.The music and song writing are not very deep but fit the character who is just learning to play. Perry and Galitzine do their own singing and playing in the film, and while they may not be ready for music careers they both perform well within the limits of their roles.
The Beat Beneath My Feet is a charming musical dramaedy about a teenage social outcast named Tom (Nicholas Galitzine) who discovers his rowdy neighbor (Luke Perry) is actually a former rock & roll legend who fakes his own death to escape financial debt. I loved this coming-of-age film because it thoughtfully shows the struggles of growing up and finding yourself. It is definitely relatable to young adults and teens who have ever struggled with fitting in and I especially loved how Tom's passion of music helped him reach his full-potential. It also included an amazingly up- beat soundtrack that was an exceptional addition to the film. This inspirational indie flick is definitely worth the watch if you haven't already had the chance to see it.
Follows your standard battle of the bands plot and uses all the clichés that come with it. Which is fine because I had this expectation before watching the film. But what I was hoping for was something that would make the film stand out. Instead you get really mediocre music from the main character and so much cringe your face will hurt after watching this. Every scene is just pure cringe and cheesy. I am talking people walking on stage one at a time to join in with his performance. The bully who has his own band throwing a fit in the crowd as his girl now flocks to the stage for the main character. Then paparazzi rush the stage to take photos of a boy doing a mediocre performance of a song consisting of about 4 chords... Roll into this some cheesy cliché songs with even cheesier music videos that the main character imagines in his head and this is everything this film has to offer. It's pretty much the worst film I have ever seen! In fact I have never reviewed a film before but just had to after watching this I felt so strongly about how bad it was.
I loved it! Cool soundtrack and nice performance. Even if you can anticipate the events and to where they are going you still can enjoy the movie.I think it is a low budget movie but that will not affect the fact that it is very well made. I did not like the animated parts but I am sure others would have different opinions about it. The story is very simple and the escalation of events is done in a smooth pace.Nicholas Galitzine did well taking in consideration that this is his first movie, Luke Perry was very convincing tooWorth watching for sure specially if you like musicals.
