Giddy Stratospheres

As an indie club promoter during the noughties I was eagerly awaiting this film. I felt it captured the 'hedonisitic fragility' that I saw week in week out back then. The ongoing volatile party that could veer off into drama at any time. The change of tone was well handled and powerful.

It would be amiss of me not to mention the soundtrack as I hadn't heard songs like Decent Days & Nights or Emily Kane for years. Some great music on there and that alone will drag you in.

I absolutely loved this movie. It really took me back to this time in London and touched all the right spots of my heart. I think a lot of people can identify with it. It's a shame some of the reviews here seem to be written by men who would have vanished under the #metoo movement had we been luck enough to have it kick off back then.

Stunning film capturing the highs & lows of a movement I would've dreamed to be a part of, the music is impeccable and a touching story. All the characters are so vibrant and the flashbacks that take place help tell the story so well.

I'm Sold!

I'm a massive long blondes, the cribs, future heads, and other 00s indie music fan so I was very excited to hear about this film. The sound track was great and very on point for that era but I didn't think the film itself was great. The partying I can certainly identify with and have been to many indie nights in London and I knew many people who were similar to the ones in the the film from parties and social circles I've mixed with. The drugs scene is fairly accurate but I didn't particularly like the ending. Watch it for yourself and see if you agreem.

Loved it, took me back to a happier time with great music and a great scene.

Sequel?
