Umm. What can I say really?

Pretty bad movie. Didn't really understand it. I thought the ending was really abrupt and didn't explain the ending well. Really unsatisfying and anticlimactic. Only bit I enjoyed was the soundtrack from my favourite band of all time, good ol' Biffy Clyro. Seriously, don't bother watching the film. Not even for the soundtrack like I did. Really not worth it. Just buy the album on vinyl because it's a really nice vinyl with a killer soundtrack and then you'll be all set. Forget the movie even existed. Just erase it from your memory. A huge flop in my opinion.

Great soundtrack, dull film.

The soundtrack is awesome so I'd definitely recommend just getting that tbh. The film however, is very dull. It doesn't really do anything or go anywhere.

Stay for the soundtrack and little else

I'm a huge Biffy Clyro fan, and, like many others who watched this I suspect, that's the only reason I did so.

I don't really understand why they're connected with this project. I'm thrilled we've got 15 new Biffy songs, just a slight shame the film the score is inspired by/written for is just a bit dull.

Ultimately I guess I just didn't believe in the characters, their performances or the storyline.

If I had to pick out a stand out performance, or at least the character I connected to the most is Bria Vinaite, who plays Hannah. She's amusing and provides a bounciness to the uninspired script, but it is clutching at straws I'm afraid.

Uneventful

Two art students who can't actually draw have a bit of a fall out over almond milk. That's as exciting as it gets. Watched this purely because of my love for Biffy Clyro but the whole film just lacks any kind of script, point or substance and just feels like the whole thing was improvised on the spot. I honestly expected a story about dealing with grief but that all got brushed under the carpet and forgotten about. This without a doubt was written by some arty fart who tries to make everything they do sound incredibly meaningful when it's really just ordinarily dull. More than likely funded it themselves too. But, Mon the Biff!!!
