Kelsey Grammer and Jackson White in The Space Between (2021)
Golden Globe™ Winner Kelsey Grammer stars in the inspiring coming of age story, set during the iconic 90s LA music scene. Micky Adams (Grammer), an eccentric has-been rock musician, loses his grip on reality all while his record label is looking to drop him and his newly created “unique” albums. In hopes of breaking out of the record-label mailroom, a young Charlie Porter is tasked with traveling to the musician’s bizarre home and forcing Micky Adams out of his contract. Micky realizes Charlie could be the key to an artistic break through, and the pair’s unlikely friendship grows. The odd but powerful bond helps both gain perspective from each other on the music industry, life, love…and the space between.

    Give it a chance and it'll surprise you

    If like me you stumble on this movie without really realising how- stick with it, the payoff is actually really solid.

    A stellar cast getting being completely unused.

    This movie really started out good and then fell completely flat midway. The thing is they had good character, good story line, story costumes and everything yet they couldn't utilise it at all. Kesley Grammar's acting was phenomenal and so was Jackson White's but the plot became so slow and jarring that it was painful to watch at times. The character of Cory had so much potential as a struggling singer of a struggling band yet her character gets dropped off the plot in the lamest way possible. I mean you get Michael Jackson's daughter for that role knowing that people would be intrigued but now it seems the directors only used her for clickbait. Such a waste of an excellent cast. At the end it felt like they were really forcing us to feel the emotions and cry but by that time you're probably like "yea we know how this ends just get on with it quickly" The 3 stars is only for the good 30 min at the beginning.

    Has Its Own Charm

    It's another aging musician finds redemption story but the writing is solid, dialog witty, and actors very good with depth and substance. If that's the kind of movie you like, you'll enjoy this one. Don't hate it because it's not ground-breaking or doesn't have relentless action and hot sex. It does, however, have Kelsey Grammer singing and acting as good or better than you've ever seen him and some new faces you'll want to remember and see again.

    Rather unique and interesting movie...

    I had been putting this movie off for some time, but finally found the time to get to sit down and watch it. And I have to say that I was actually looking forward to seeing what writer William Porter and director Rachel Winter had to offer with "The Space Between", as the movie had Kelsey Grammer in one of the leading roles.

    Initially then I had never actually heard about "The Space Between", so I wasn't sure what I was in for here, but I had the movie on my to-watch-list, and eventually found the time to get around to watching it. But I never did see a trailer, nor even read the movie's synopsis.

    And "The Space Between" is a rather unique movie, I will say that much. And by that I mean that the movie is something of an acquired taste, and thus it might not easily reach out to appease the general audience. I did find the storyline in the movie to be rather interesting, and I think that writer William Porter definitely managed to put together a rather unique and memorable storyline that was brought to life by equally interesting characters.

    The movie had a good cast list, and I have to say that Kelsey Grammer was just phenomenally cast for the role of the eccentric artist Micky Adams, and his performance in the movie was simply spot on. This movie was made great with a big amount of credit given to this fact. Kelsey Grammer was joined by Jackson White, whom also did put on quite a good performance. And it definitely was nice to see William Fichtner on the screen, as he added a great punch of his usual on-screen charisma to the movie.

    If you enjoy quirky movies, and have a liking for comedy dramas, then I can warmly recommend that you take the time to sit down and watch "The Space Between", should you find yourself with the opportunity. I was pleasantly surprised with the storyline, the characters and the acting performances. And it was a genuinely entertaining movie.

    My rating of "The Space Between" lands on a six out of ten stars.

    Might've been better

    This film might have been better if based on a real person. I think it needed that biographic feel. Charlie works in the postel section of his film. Then one day his boss fincher sends him to give a letter to get a washed up singer out of his contact.he goes and as soon as we seen a alpaca things will be weird. Kelsey grammar plays the singer and does a well enough job. Even the ending is sweet but the meat that built up this film sandwich was just not there really. There was too much going the long way around to get to something else. The music was nice and there were some generally good songs. Just overall not a lot else.

    • Trivia
      Mickey Adams may be inspired, in part, by the real-life genius songwriter/musician Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys. Mickey keeps a piano in an inspired location to write. Brian Wilson famously kept a piano in a full-sized sand box in the living room of his former Hollywood Hills home so that he would think of the beach as he composed new songs. Additionally, Brian Wilson was obsessed with the song "Be My Baby" by The Ronettes, going so far as to listen to the recording an estimated 1,000 times. Mickey's doorbell plays the opening to "Be My Baby".

      At approximately 25 minutes into movie during their first meeting at pool. In the background you can here bird song. One of the birds is a Eastern whip-poor-will. This would not be heard during the day as it's a nocturnal bird.
