Prime Video has you covered this holiday season with movies for the family. Here are some of our picks to get you in the spirit.
First of all, I appreciate and thankful that this story has been told as it was my era. I imagine it is a very difficult task to capture the house party vibe, atmosphere and energy and put this across on screen. I think it was a great effort portrayed by such a young cast especially the main characters, and I was really impressed by the music selection which certainly brought back some memories. I also loved how you could still hear the music playing during scenes out of the room, this made you feel like you were present.
There were some inaccuracies though, as pointed out by other reviewers. It's annoying as this could have easily been avoided, if the producers had consulted with a broad panel of people who had been around at the time, their experience would have been invaluable and made the story more authentic and pleasing.
I'm not going to be too critical though as Lovers Rock is a story portrayed through the music, the atmosphere and the chemistry of the people. For that reason I feel the good far outweighed a few finer details.
