Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Lollivan 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.

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.

Cora Moore The rock comedy The Beat Beneath My Feet follows Tom (Nick Galtizine) as he tries to overcome the obstacles of his youth. Tom has dreams of competing in the local battle of the bands and becoming a famous rock star, but with his mother's objections from a failed relationship with Tom's rocker father, he must keep those dreams to himself. Tom and his mom get to meet his unruly downstairs neighbor, Steve (Luke Perry), after enduring multiple nights of blasting recorded guitar music. After this not so warm meeting, Tom is able to identify Steve as a former rock guitarist that was believed to be dead. Once he uncovers this information about his neighbor, Tom tries to use it as blackmail for guitar lessons. Though at first getting off to a rocky start, the two slowly form a close bond giving Tom the opportunity to find his voice both on and off the stage. The director (John Williams) is able to portray Tom's newfound voice in a unique way that instantly drew me in, and was one of my favorite aspects of the film. From the use of cartoon-like animation Williams creates music videos throughout the film that draw inspiration from Radiohead. I also read that Nick Galtizine sang all the songs performed in the movie himself, which was really impressive and made his performances in the film more genuine. From a great soundtrack to beautiful cinematography The Beat Beneath My Feet is a heartfelt coming of age drama that I highly recommend you give a watch.

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.
