D Gordon (dom_gordon) This was one of those films I was expecting to have on in the background but not really find myself being interested in. However, I was pleasantly surprised and found myself really paying attention to the film and the music.All the main characters play their parts very well and come out with credit for their performances. Especially the young male lead, Nicholas Galitzine, who performs the music as well as coming across as the shy, awkward teen.There is also a quite difficult scene involving self harm, that would have been difficult to put across without being condescending.The plot line in a bit predictable to some extent, as you can guess how things work out but overall, this is a feel good film with good music and I came away feeling that I had enjoyed the previous 90 minutes.

jamescentre The Beat Beneath My Feet is a deliciously entertaining musical romp that is sure to inspire dreamers of all ages. The film tells the story of Tom (Nicholas Galitzine), a painfully shy high schooler determined to become a rock star. When Tom discovers that his unruly neighbor (90210's Luke Perry) is actually a "dead" grunge musician with a mountain of unpaid debt, he gives his neighbor an ultimatum: teach him how to become a great singer-songwriter or else he will expose his secret to the world. Perry and Galitzine have amazing chemistry, both delivering brilliantly believable performances as two birds with broken wings. What's particularly notable about this film are its musical sequences. Director John Williams (who directed music videos for Radiohead and Coldplay) manages to orchestrate surreal and truly fascinating musical episodes (featuring rockin' original music) that intelligently parallel what is happening in the story. The Beat Beneath My Feat is a delightful good time that features Luke Perry at the top of his game, and will likely make a star out of talented newcomer Galitzine.

elizabethalexander-08284 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.

Ihsan Adnan 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.
