Ex Drummer

About This Movie

Ex Drummer, directed by Koen Mortier, is one of those films that really grabs you with its raw energy and unconventional storytelling. The premise alone is a wild ride—three musicians, each with a disability that makes them seem unlikely candidates for their instruments. The humor is dark, and there’s a certain absurdity that runs through the film, wrapped in a gritty atmosphere. The pacing feels a bit erratic at times, but it mirrors the chaotic nature of the band's journey. It touches on themes of exclusion and identity, and the performances are strikingly honest. Definitely not your typical band story, but that’s what makes it stand out among indie films.
