Beat

Beat is about a homeless man and an aspiring musician brought together by fate, with a surprising ending.

I love the idea of the story, it's a new idea to me and has the potential to be inspiring and uplifting.

However, throughout the film there is some very odd dialogue which stood out enough to spoil the flow of the movie. There are also some scenes which go on too long, and as they are at that point unexplained, they just serve to make me impatient and bored.

There is some great acting throughout by Jensen but apart from her the roles are mediocre all the way down to Dr Mordon, who's acting and dialogue are both abysmal.

If you go into this film expecting a decent B movie you won't be disappointed.

I love it when I find a movie that isn't just a typical three act structure. Something something different with a cool concept.

That's what this is. Movies should be a medium where people can express themselves and I felt like it was done in this.

Let encourage original story's and not just focus on quoters, budgets and box office.

I gave Beat a go and I'm glad I did. The acting is amazing. Every main character felt real and believable and I was drawn in straight away. Definitely a 10 out of 10 on that front.

The music is what really stood out.. Its actually part of the story. Some of the piano scenes gave me goosebumps. You can tell a lot of thought went into it and it adds so much feeling.

The story though didn't quite hit the same level. It's not bad but it felt like it needed a bit more. Some parts didn't go deep enough. I get that it was trying to be led by the music and emotion but I just wanted a little more from the plot to really connect with it.

That said it's a great film with some beautiful moments. It's not perfect but it leaves an impression. Worth watching for the performances and the music alone.

This movie is why I love indie films. They are original and new. Ive been listening to the soundtrack for months now and actually didn't realise this was a movie haha. The music in this is incredible Sid done such a great job and he is an incredible composer. The music helps tells the story in a whole other way.

I really enjoyed this movie and how creative it was. They way classical music was blended with the drama felt original. This is what movies should be, an expressions a risk and a story. The acting in this was really good. I felt really connected to the lead, she carried the film, and is an asset for this production.
