Review:
As always, I'm a sucker for a good indie film. Throw in a coming-of-age theme and moral, and I'm down. Hearts Beat Loud is no different. The film is such a great representation of how we deal with change, the difficulty in it, and that we can still carry our experiences with us beyond the change.
Nick Offerman was his usual solid self in this film, and Kiersey Clemons continues to impress me beyond my previous exposure to her talent in Dope.
All in all, this is a good film. You won't be disappointed.
Grade: 2.5/5
