It Could Only Happen Here is a fascinating glimpse into the DIY ethos of the FME Festival in Quebec. The film captures the raw essence of this underground music scene, showcasing the grit and passion that fuels emerging Canadian bands. You get a sense of the tight-knit community in Rouyn-Noranda, the way music fills the air and pulls people together. The pacing is a bit loose, allowing moments to breathe, almost like a jam session. It's not flashy, but there’s an authenticity in the practical effects and the way it presents its subjects. The performances from the musicians are genuine, and the film’s tone is reflective of the festival itself—unpretentious and vibrant, a true love letter to local artistry.
