The Incoherents

Loved the movie! I think it's one of those movies that hard to categorize, because everyone can relate to it somehow (either you like comedy, or drama, or musical; either you listen to rock, or pop, or folk, or you are not into music at all). I watched it together with my family, and everyone enjoyed it so much. The movie is about the band, The Incoherents, which decided to reunite. I actually couldn't believe it was a fictional band, because of the chemistry between actors in the band was so real. The soundtracks were amazing and really catching! Great job by the producers and music supervisor! But this movie is not only about music, it's about love, friendship, dreams, family, hope, and many other things. The cast was great! Some of my favorite characters in the movie were Jimmy (played by talented and handsome Alex Emanuel), Bruce (played by intriguing Jeff Auer), and Liz (fabulous Kate Arrington). I can go on and on about other actors, as everyone was very talented and so enjoyable to watch. I like watching indie movies, and this one has a beautiful indie vibe, and, at the same time, it's made on such a high professional level, which is a great combination, IMO. Hope my review would be helpful to viewers! Highly recommended!

I didn't know what to expect when I sat down to see the film, but I left feeling hopeful and wanting to "pick up my guitar and play, just like yesterday" to quote The Who. Great story, perfect cast (I especially liked the roles of "Jimmy", played by Alex Emanuel, "Tyler", played by Casey Clark, "The Jules", played by Vincent Lamberti, and "Liz", played by Kate Arrington). Emanuel's performance was subtle and cool, Clark was dry and hilarious, Lamberti a charming rogue and Arrington was so complete, she's a heluvan actress. The music by the band struck me as well. I love music form that period (the 90s) and these songs brought me back. They didn't sound just like anything but reminded me of The Replacements, Pavement, Sonic Youth, The Afghan Wigs and other acts from that era. Kudos to the song writing team of Emanuel and Jeff Auer (the film's talented writer and lead actor). Kudos also to the director Jared Barel for crafting the script to make this low-budget indie look and sound so damn good! If you like indie rock and are looking for a feel good film about real underdog types, definitely check out The Incoherents! This film should be a tv show, for real, I'd follow these characters season after season and would love to hear more music by the band!.

Thought the film was great even though the plot isn't really relatable to anything in my life. I still found the story touching and engaging and you stay entertained with the music and great bands featured! Would highly recommend for you Friday night flick this week!!

Anyone who is 1) over the age of 40 and 2) ever played in a band can relate to this film. Middle age approaches quicker than Malmsteen sweep picking, and one is left wondering what happened to all the hopes and dreams.

The truth is, the hopes and dreams never left, only the time to pursue them. That is what we find in this film. The crap rehearsal spaces, the in fights, creative control arguments will be all to familiar and play as a sort of "our band never made it big" kind of Spinal Tap that any musician can relate to, like looking through an old book of photographs. Alex Emanuel (Jimmy), does a fine job as what I consider the heart and soul of the band and wrote some pretty ass kicking music for the film as well.

Unlike many indie films shot in NYC, this one doesn't fall into the cliche of try to score cheap credibility by using every "hip" place the neighborhood has to offer. The film concentrates on the story rather than try to be a post card or love letter to the Big Apple. One does not feel that this is the story of a New York band, it could be any band of middle age people in any city in America trying to give their dreams one last shot.

Enjoyable movie with a Replacement's like soundtrack.
