It Can Happen Here

About This Movie

So, 'It Can Happen Here' is an interesting watch, set in the early 80s. You’ve got these two brothers caught up in the nascent world of personal computing, and their relationship really gets put through the wringer. The film has a gritty, almost nostalgic tone that captures the era well, not too glossy, which I appreciate. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the raw feel of their struggles. The performances are solid, with a real sense of authenticity in how they portray sibling tension. What stands out is the way it examines ambition and family ties amidst the tech boom—definitely gives a unique perspective on that period.
