I Am Not a Hipster

About This Movie

I Am Not a Hipster has this raw, introspective vibe that really encapsulates the struggles of a young artist. Brook, played with a kind of quiet intensity, is both relatable and frustrating as he grapples with grief and self-sabotage. The pacing is slow, but it suits the story—the lingering moments emphasize his isolation and create a palpable atmosphere of melancholy. The music is woven throughout, adding layers to his character's journey, and the performances feel genuine, almost like a documentary at times. What stands out is how it portrays the indie music scene and the pressures of authenticity in a world that's often anything but. Definitely a film that resonates more on a second or third watch.
