Lease

About This Movie

So, 'Lease' is a quirky little musical that captures a very distinctive slice of life in Grey Lynn, New Zealand. The flatmates are a fun mix—Matt, the mainstream pop guy, a brooding metal head, and the doe-eyed emo Steve, played by Brendon Morrow, really brings a soft edge to the trio. It's got this raw, scrappy vibe throughout, which is fitting for their grotty flat. The pacing takes you through their search for a new flatmate with a mix of humor and genuine sentiment. I appreciate how it playfully explores themes of friendship and music culture, each character embodying a different pop genre. It feels very DIY, and the performances are quite engaging, giving it a unique atmosphere.

Interesting take on musical genre representation.Relatable themes of friendship and living together.Unique atmosphere with a distinct New Zealand flavor.
