Songbird

About This Movie

So, 'Songbird' is this interesting slice-of-life drama about Joanne, the lead singer of the early 90s Britpop band, the Filthy Dukes. You get this sort of nostalgic vibe, but it’s also bittersweet as she stumbles through university life, trying to connect with a younger crowd that just doesn’t get her rock ’n’ roll spirit. The pacing is a bit uneven, mirroring her chaotic life, and the performances carry a certain rawness that feels authentic. It’s not just about her struggle to fit in, but also a deeper commentary on aging and relevance in a changing music scene. The atmosphere has that gritty but vibrant feel typical of indie films, which adds to its charm. Worth a watch if you like character-driven stories.
