Conor (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo) decides to put a band together to impress Mary (Lucy Boynton), an aspiring model. He discovers that trying to find an identity for the band also helps him find his own personal identity outside of it, and songwriting is a great tool to help one deal with an oppressive school, bullies, and tensions at home.
It's not the worst coming-of-age story I've seen. The music is not half-bad, and Boynton is easily a star in the making. Special shout-out to Mark McKenna who played the poly-instrumentalist and rabbit enthusiast Eamon. Otherwise, this is pretty much a paint-by-numbers kind of film. If you have pre-teens that are musically inclined, it might be worth it. It's currently streaming on Tubi.
