The Tape (2021)
10/10
My new favourite film
30 May 2023
I'm shocked that there are only two reviews at the time of posting.

This film needs to be seen by more people, it's not a stupid flimsy romcom that seem to clutter the industry these days, think more "Once", Before Sunrise, Lost in Translation and Forget Me Not (with Tobias Menzies). It's a music inspired romantic drama rather than a romcom. It does have a few nice comedic moments but it's not silly, the acting is actually very good and sincere, and the story is very engaging.

Martha Tilston is very talented indeed, she wrote, directed and starred in this her debut film, and the music that she wrote for this is just sublime, great lyrics with lovely melodies. If you like folk music with a sprinkling of Tori Amos and Kate Bush then this will be a treat for you. The music is mostly performed live, if not all.

Set in Cornwall and little bit of the City London, it's a real feel good film that's good on the eyes too.

Enjoy.
