The story of a main character with a seemingly impossible dream, fighting his way to top, is one that is very familiar in cinema, perhaps especially in Hollywood.

It is therefore refreshing to have a movie that tells the story of someone who never really makes it; sadly there is not that much else to this movie. The movie is to a certain degree structured in a classic rise and fall way, but without the rise ever really being that great. This all works fairly well, though I would have liked to perhaps see more of the fall. I can to a certain degree understand why they have chosen to focus on the rise more since this is perhaps where it is at its most unique considering the character does ever quite make it. That said, it is still the eventual fall which explores this aspect the best. During the rise everything quickly becomes quite repetitive, which is somewhat effective in that it does explore the repetitive existence of a DJ trying to making it, yet it also becomes thematically stagnant and thereby kind of dull. The acting is very mixed; I would say that for the most part it is good, but it occasionally feels very unnatural, especially during english-speaking scenes. It should also be mentioned that the movie is a tad tonally uneven, especially with the constant Daft Punk jokes, which most of the time feel very out of place, a few well-placed ones would have been enough. Like its main character, the movie tries hard and means well, but in the end it just doesn´t really work all that well.… Expand
