Hit Record

A low budget comedy presented in a documentary format. Whilst the documentary format is overused, especially in television, it was very well executed. The cast, whilst not the strongest in the dramatic moments, are clearly giving their all and it especially shows in the comedic scenes. I will admit I laughed more than I thought I would, some brilliant scenes. Some brilliant satire on the popstar cliches. The light hearted and breezy tone make this a fun watch. However, this is obviously limited by its format and budget. Again, with the format and plot there are cliches that arise and feels too familiar.

Overall, despite its limitations the cast are clear having a blast and it shows through the screen. A pleasant low budget comedy!

Ethan Cvitanic successfully creates a very natural mockumentary that, just like life itself, goes from laughter to drama in an extremely fluid way. Surely the best aspect of the film is the direction: a simple hand-held camera that, indiscreet, collects interviews and involves the viewer precisely because of its amateur character. The low budget in this case is managed wisely and not as a lack, letting this amplify the naturalness of the shot. Cast and script could certainly improve but Shug's story is not just a naive parable of self-delusion, but also a piece of human life which and, as such, is extremely complex to describe. So, if that's the way, we can't wait to see his next work!

I am impressed 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. This is so nice and amazing to watch. Learnt a lot from it too 😍😍

Loved the story of a young rural girl who is clueless and funny, trying to break into the business in her own naive way. A little reminiscent of Waiting For Guffman.

Hit Record is a wonderful movie. Despite the Cast being new in the Market, this movie is surely one you must watch one of this days. The movie brings out some cringe humour that is very entertaining. The story in the movie is very unique and easy to follow hence you are not left in the dark at any point.
