Sparkle

About This Movie

So, here’s the thing with 'Sparkle' – it’s a slice of quirky romance wrapped in a comedic shell. You've got this Liverpool lad, Sam, plopping into the London scene with his mum, who is chasing her singing dreams. The pacing kind of rolls along like a relaxed afternoon, but then it kicks up a notch when Sam gets entangled with both a PR exec and her daughter. The performances have this charming awkwardness, really capturing that feeling of young love and confusion. The atmosphere feels almost nostalgic, evoking a certain vibe of British indie films from that period. It’s not groundbreaking, but there’s something about the characters and their messiness that makes it stand out – you can’t help but appreciate the human complexity.
