Movie Reviews

Reviewed by bigboybaker 8 / 10

A great up-close and personal look into a piece of recent history that most of us know nothing about and never would have been able to appreciate had this film not been made.

You'd be doing yourself a favor not to read anything regarding the plot on this one. It might turn you off and then you'd miss out on a great movie. The subject matter is one that a lot of folks might have an interest in, but it's not exactly the mainstream, so the "topic" of this film, or what it appears to be in the synopsis, may only appeal to a select group. The film is for everyone, however. It's a wonderful and well-told story about people. The film is very well-made from every aspect and it is a very impressive work. It is very good and very enjoyable.

Big fish little fish, cardboard box! ?

Well, if you missed out on a rave in the 90's with MDMA (E) then this is a good attempt at the experience. A story of brotherhood and the rave culture. Some trippy effects and a really good depiction of a rave when out of it!I enjoyed the strong cast. A few laughs, some heart swell. A sprinkle of political commentary. It is a film of its time.I enjoyed it and can see why it has won a few awards. It had atmosphere and felt like an experience in places. One I was glad throw some mental shapes to! ?
