I liked that movie.

I don't know everything. Neither does anyone else

It's heavily inspired by it, for sure.

I don't feel enough for you to cry.

Oh well.

Nice Silent Hill signature

Films themselves are insubstantial. Your experience encountering a film is the film itself.

No, apart from it being about a band in Dublin, there is very little to compare it to The Commitments. Both are very good and very different.

Think The Commitments if John Hughes had directed. Nice movie, decent music, but no Commitments or Once..

It is, but thematically and emotionally, I think it's a lot closer to "Almost Famous".
