“I watched u0026quot;The Beat Beneath My Feetu0026quot; last night at the Berlin Film Festival and it was great. Itu0026#39;s a beautiful story, executed with style, and the three leads deliver strong performances. In particular, Luke Perry of u0026quot;Beverly Hills 90210u0026quot; fame excels as a down-on-his luck musician with a dark secret who hides on a council estate to avoid being jailed for tax evasion. Heu0026#39;s extremely moving and memorable as a damaged soul seeking redemption who finds healing through a dorky young neighbor, played by convincing newcomer – Nicholas Galitzine – who is hell bent on being a rock star despite his crippling shyness. The cool soundtrack, in the vein of Coldplay, underscores the story beautifully as well as the animated sequences that highlight the central characteru0026#39;s fears and fantasies. u0026quot;The Beat Beneath My Feetu0026quot; is a heartfelt, entertaining, feel-good comedy from the UK that Iu0026#39;d highly recommend. Thumbs up to the team behind the film.”
