Dublin Crust

This film was apparently made in only 7 days, in 32 locations, 3 counties and with no money! Which makes it even more impressive. It's an engaging story about redemption, regrets, following your dreams and the power of friendship to last through the ups and downs of life. In this case the Dublin punk music scene. The multi talented Baz Black stars, writes, directs, produces AND plays drums. It's worth a look if you're interested in punk music or just want to see a high quality indie film with a great sound track! The cast are all really authentic and (despite first appearances) endearing and likeable. And I think I shed a tear or two at the end. 😢

Dublin Crust gives us a great mix of punk, nostalgia, and relationships.

You've got everything here, from laughter to tears. The beginning and end scenes contrast heavily but there's one thing that every scene has in common - they all have a lot of heart.

The characters are flawed and yet there's a lot of warmth to each of them - you'd happily befriend them all (yes, even Bernard!). There is a constant theme of people trying to better themselves, and able to do it through the support of others and a generous helping of punk attitude. The message I picked up on: Punk isn't dead and cherish your relationships.

More films need to be made with more heart less thought on profit. Watch it, enjoy it, feel it. Then get the soundtrack stuck in your head 🤘

Dublin Crust tells the entertaining story of 4 bandmates (and their manager) who were a popular punk band in the late 1990's, went their separate ways, and decide to reform now as middle-aged geezers to see if they've still got it. The answer is a resounding 'yes!' This is a delightful movie in the vein of The Commitments or The Full Monty, that delves into choices we make in life, and how to reclaim past glory. The music is great throughout, and I give big kudos to Director Baz Black, the Producers, and fine cast for pulling out all the stops to tell this story. If you have any memories of the punk rock movement of the 1990's, you will love this. Beyond that, it's a solid character story about friends and staying true to what you believe. Check it out!

Witty, original and heartfelt, Dublin Crust is a tour-de-force of Irish independent filmmaking. You don't need to be a fan of punk music to enjoy this raucous yet emotional story of a group of loveable misfits. It is very well acted with a solid script that combines drama with comedy. I really liked the soundtrack as well- it has a really Rock'n'Roll roll feel. It stars some familiar faces from Irish TV and film as well as some strong performances from some talented newcomers. Clearly a labour of love, it's well worth a trip to the cinema to see it on the big screen. Highly entertaining & enjoyable.

Well this movie brought me back to when music was real, gigs were alive and the 90s Ireland had fun and laughter in its veins! Absolutely loved the humour, the emotion and the cast. Felt elated as I was leaving the cinema. Will definitely be watching again and again. Characters and storylines are so real, you feel for each and every one. Even if you don't like punk music this film is still one to watch. Although you might leave with their hit replaying in your head! Massively proud that it's full Irish, cast and crew. Hope it goes across the water to show to share this masterpiece with the world.
