Beats

I don't think that the movie was quite as good as Moonlight but it had a similar story, a young African American man coming of age in a tough situation with an older mentor who is not family.

Good acting and the music ("Beats") were straight fire.

Like some others have said, the ending was the weakest part of the film by far.

A real life look at life in Chicago for a young man dealing with loss. Inspirational story that's human at its core. The ending felt a little flat, but other than that, enjoyed it. Soundtrack is a bonus.

I really liked the acting, the story line and the music. It is well worth watching. But I have to agree with others that I found the ending confusing because I wasn't sure what the ending was. But then I am the sort of person who complains when the ending is sugary or obvious. So,maybe it works My musical tastes aren't quite in this area but I loved the music and the general vibe. I would say this is well worth seeing - but it's not perfect.

BEATS is one of the most realistic and fresh movies I have seen from Netflix in awhile. It was not a rehash of another "hood" movie. A lot of thought was put into this movie. The acting was excellent, the writing was inventive, and the characters themselves were relatable. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. And I give big accolades to Anthony Anderson. He was on point. Congrats!!

It was such a good movie. It's full of great music and beats. If you love music you must watch it you won't regret it.
