Kat and the Band (2019)

Something to cheer the lockdown blues

Really loved this. A young schoolgirl dreams the impossible dream, to manage a cool band (brilliant performance by Dougie Poynter). Has to sneak out from under her mother's nose to make it all happen right in the middle of her A levels. The soundtrack drives the antics (great music tracks). Every teen's fantasy.

The director manages to draw out tear-jerking performances, especially from the beautiful young star Ella Hunt, who flips seamlessly between scruffy schoolgirl and hip band manager.
