Four high school girls form a pop cover band and rehearse three songs for their school's annual festival.
Despite minimal plotting this was a sleeper that worked. The director captured the complex dynamic that is high school life in all its mundane emotional boredom and turmoil. Framing and camera work were neutral and avoided the hysterical overdoneness that usually sinks stories like this. These kids seemed real and undramatic. It also helped that the songs they played were catchy and their stage movements were clumsy and unpolished.
This one was fun.
