Dublin Crust

Well this movie brought me back to when music was real, gigs were alive and the 90s Ireland had fun and laughter in its veins! Absolutely loved the humour, the emotion and the cast. Felt elated as I was leaving the cinema. Will definitely be watching again and again. Characters and storylines are so real, you feel for each and every one. Even if you don't like punk music this film is still one to watch. Although you might leave with their hit replaying in your head! Massively proud that it's full Irish, cast and crew. Hope it goes across the water to show to share this masterpiece with the world.

If you're a movie or music enthusiast, prepare to be plunged headfirst into the rebellious world of the band CRUST in this gripping movie.

The narrative is a tightly woven tapestry that keeps you hooked from start to finish, leaving you craving more insight into the unfolding drama. The film successfully balances humor and heart, making it an engaging watch for anyone eager to see how it all plays out. It speaks to the universal theme of craving change and the potential for self-destructive paths, particularly relevant to the struggles faced by young individuals. The film, with its brilliant execution, becomes a canvas for everyone, young and old, to reflect on their own journeys, passions, and the challenges of navigating life. In summary, "Dublin Crust" masterfully blends humor, heartbreak, and relatable experiences.

Witty, original and heartfelt, Dublin Crust is a tour-de-force of Irish independent filmmaking. You don't need to be a fan of punk music to enjoy this raucous yet emotional story of a group of loveable misfits. It is very well acted with a solid script that combines drama with comedy. I really liked the soundtrack as well- it has a really Rock'n'Roll roll feel. It stars some familiar faces from Irish TV and film as well as some strong performances from some talented newcomers. Clearly a labour of love, it's well worth a trip to the cinema to see it on the big screen. Highly entertaining & enjoyable.

This is an absolutely brilliant film, and a bit of a surprise, given that it seems to have hardly been reviewed by mainstream outlets. All the more impressive when you realise this is a low budget, independent film. The music is absolutely fantastic as well. All credit to whoever wrote and directed the music! The acting might be occasionally uneven, but all is absolutely forgiven, a great story and strong leads. What a lot of fun this film is! It's my hope it becomes a slow burn, cult hit. It really is quite something. Commitments meets punk but better!! Do add this to your list of unknown gems that you knew about before it became more well known 🙂

This film was apparently made in only 7 days, in 32 locations, 3 counties and with no money! Which makes it even more impressive. It's an engaging story about redemption, regrets, following your dreams and the power of friendship to last through the ups and downs of life. In this case the Dublin punk music scene. The multi talented Baz Black stars, writes, directs, produces AND plays drums. It's worth a look if you're interested in punk music or just want to see a high quality indie film with a great sound track! The cast are all really authentic and (despite first appearances) endearing and likeable. And I think I shed a tear or two at the end. 😢
