Downfalls High

Is like many music videos with a few talking scenes. The story is ok. This is perfect if you want to watch a movie and listen music.

MGK took his most famous and popular songs and wrote a script and a story around those. Combining visual storytelling with amazing music creating a musical drama with a pretty good story.

The cinematography switches between high quality and old school cameras, bringing a certain quality, which helps with keeping up with the pace of the songs and adapts as the story changes and you go through every different emotion from ultimate highs to ultimate lows. Sydney Sweeney as Scarlett is absolutely stellar, while the rest of the acting from the other actors is just alright, but it gets the job done and ultimately with the music and production value, it sells the story and makes it work.

It's completely free, with no ads, on youtube! So it's easily accessible for everyone. A must watch for all fans of Machine Gun Kelly and his music!

7/10.

I thought this was such a beautifully done short movie. The story it told was raw and relatable on so manu levels to so many of our generation. This is exactly what we needed.

Great music and a really good story line to capture the drama of high school love. Production quality is impressive too. Loved how they built such a great product with so little speaking. Sydney and Chase were awesome in their roles. The set design and costumes were impressive. Loved the mean girls look at the start and how she evolves. Travis Barjer, MGK and Baze in the van 💀, really all music performance clips were really well placed to build the story. I've watched it multiple times and still enjoy it every time. The album deserved an award. Glad the rating here is at least accurate. Solid 8+.

Let's get something out of the way. This is barely a film. It's more like a one hour music video with a loose and cheesy storyline that ties all the videos together. That being said, I really enjoyed this project. The writing is cliche and sometimes overly dramatic and the acting can be a bit wooden but that's the point. It's like a filmed version of a medium budget stage production with an absolute killer soundtrack. All the songs in this are really good and bring back a nostalgic yet new feeling in their sound and lyrics. In the end, give this a watch. It's unique and unlike anything I've ever seen before.
