Brought me right back to when I was a teenager reminding me of the insecurities that at that time seemed so large yet now are so small. There are some great lessons in the film. There are also great moments of comedy, you are encouraged to laugh with the producers at what seems perhaps an autobiographical satire of the teenage experience.
A first-hand portrait of adolescence. The young directors have reminded me of situations from my own adolescence that I had already forgotten.
A wonderful film full of the joys and tribulations of youth. Sweet, funny, it reminds us of how we were. Well acted with great characters, really loved it
A fantastic feel good film that is funny and heart warming while reminding you of all your awkward teenage moments.
Loved the film when seeing for the first time at Prince Charles. Fresh, young and the relatable British teen story we needed. Defo recommend a watch!
Unique British small film, took me back to early / mid noughties on an adventure through time to my A levels
A genuinely hilarious and sweet film with a wonderfully crafted story line, accurately capturing the thoughts that go through a teenager's head and providing the audience with all the emotions!
Firstly, the title: SOUNDTRACK To Sixteen: I kept trying to figure out what that was supposed to mean. It wasn't the dialogue or the music score -- as I really hoped. The only soundtrack that played through this film was of misanthropy and glumness. The characters aren't engaging or well-formed. The nuance that defines winning films in this category just isn't here. It takes way too long for the lead characters' paths to intersect and it doesn't feel feasible or natural. If it was a crowded situation in the same setting and they were thrust together, that would have been better than the concocted, forced encounter that appears. Then the next half of the film plays before they connect. What really plays out is all the bones of a SHORT FILM padded out to fill 93 minutes -- which turns out feeling much much longer. Watching this at home in quarantine took almost three hours, because I kept getting distracted and the film didn't pull me in.
A real gem that doesn't conform to many of the boring trope of your typical teenage dramas. A beautifully touching insight into the pressures of school, friendship, and blossoming romance, from a truly refreshing perspective. I expect great things from this sister-duo in the future, who have clearly shown just a fraction of what they are capable of. Highly recommended.
