Rock On!

About This Movie

Rock On! from 2010 presents an interesting portrait of amateur musicians finding their way through a tangled web of dreams and reality. The casting choices, drawn from audition rejects, add an authentic, raw quality to the film. Each character, from the kid hailing from Hong Kong with a knack for songwriting, to Candy, who embodies a very doll-like innocence, brings a unique perspective to the struggles of artistic expression. The pacing is deliberately reflective, allowing moments of introspection amidst the musical numbers. It’s not flashy, but it captures the essence of youthful ambition, and there's something quite charming about its imperfections. You can almost feel the DIY spirit infused into every frame, making it distinctive in its own right.
