Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

If you have ever gone into a movie with low expectations and later left feeling surprised that it actually blew you away, that kind of movie for me was Beat Beneath my Feet. For the most part, I was incredibly impressed by the depth of the narrative and progression of the characters. Starring Nicholas Galitzine as Tom, the central character who is so socially inept that his only friend in his world is rock music. Unfortunately for Tom, his mother (who is played by Lisa Dillon) rejects this music because his estranged father was a former rock star who spent more time on tour than with their family. Another former rock star, Steve (played by Luke Perry) enters their lives and things start to change for both Tom and his Mother. Though the characters are broken and feel out casted in some way, they strike a bond that helps them escape their shells. When the story felt like it could lose my attention, it managed to pull me back in by adding short music videos, which served to express what Tom was feeling while simultaneously providing you with enjoyable music. For a movie revolving around music, this is an important quality to possess and Beat Beneath my Feet certainly delivered on this level as well as many other levels.

The Beat Beneath My Feet is a charming musical dramaedy about a teenage social outcast named Tom (Nicholas Galitzine) who discovers his rowdy neighbor (Luke Perry) is actually a former rock & roll legend who fakes his own death to escape financial debt. I loved this coming-of-age film because it thoughtfully shows the struggles of growing up and finding yourself. It is definitely relatable to young adults and teens who have ever struggled with fitting in and I especially loved how Tom's passion of music helped him reach his full-potential. It also included an amazingly up- beat soundtrack that was an exceptional addition to the film. This inspirational indie flick is definitely worth the watch if you haven't already had the chance to see it.

I loved it! Cool soundtrack and nice performance. Even if you can anticipate the events and to where they are going you still can enjoy the movie.I think it is a low budget movie but that will not affect the fact that it is very well made. I did not like the animated parts but I am sure others would have different opinions about it. The story is very simple and the escalation of events is done in a smooth pace.Nicholas Galitzine did well taking in consideration that this is his first movie, Luke Perry was very convincing tooWorth watching for sure specially if you like musicals.

I watched "The Beat Beneath My Feet" last night at the Berlin Film Festival and it was great. It's a beautiful story, executed with style, and the three leads deliver strong performances. In particular, Luke Perry of "Beverly Hills 90210" fame excels as a down-on-his luck musician with a dark secret who hides on a council estate to avoid being jailed for tax evasion. He's extremely moving and memorable as a damaged soul seeking redemption who finds healing through a dorky young neighbor, played by convincing newcomer - Nicholas Galitzine - who is hell bent on being a rock star despite his crippling shyness. The cool soundtrack, in the vein of Coldplay, underscores the story beautifully as well as the animated sequences that highlight the central character's fears and fantasies. "The Beat Beneath My Feet" is a heartfelt, entertaining, feel-good comedy from the UK that I'd highly recommend. Thumbs up to the team behind the film.
