Carla Hay Culture Mix Apr 26
Original Sound gives an emotionally authentic depiction of chasing creative greatness in a fickle music industry, from the perspectives of a struggling musician and a pop star. This appealing movie avoids many story clichés. Go to Full Review

Greg Apr 30 More Danny and Ryan collab and more Danny dad See more Kacie Apr 29 This movie is one I havnt seen in a long time. Littered with underlying themes that all intersected in a way that makes you feel you can relate to a piece of each character. The set Dec was incredible especially in Dannys side of the loft. The way it was shot was creative and made for great pacing throughout the film, without spoiling too much the concept of there being the same song sung 3 different ways drove the intention of the movie home in a subtle artistically beautiful way. In a side note of my own appreciation. There was only one kiss in the whole movie. Both on screen these days and in real life we compromise emotional connection for physical. Weve lost the art of creating a STRONG bond between characters where we just show sex scenes to do the work, this movie did not do that and I was fully invested in every character connection and what they learned from one another. Amazing film. Amazing acting. Amazing crew. Im seeing it a third time on Thursday. See more RMJ Apr 29 I liked the music and the story about the music industry. See more tom k Apr 27 I wasnt expecting to be drawn into this very simple movie. Type of indie movie that lets you enjoy without any big techie distractions . Lots of emotions throughout , Nice way to escape See more KatieF Apr 27 Loved the movie!! I highly recommend it. More theaters need to show it and promote it! Disappointed the Rotten Tomatoes film "professional" critics have not not viewed it and added their comments. This movie deserves to be promoted and previews shown prior to other movies to get exposure. One of the best movies I've seen this year. See more Thomas J Apr 25 I wanted to see more of the story.
