Beats. Brian Welsh. 2019. ☆☆★★★★
I thought this was going to be the usual rags to rap riches story, but instead it’s an unusual rags to rap riches story. It’s got PTSD and mental illness and stuff.
It turns out that everything needed to get well is some hard truths from an older man.
The acting’s kinda lame. Well, it varies between really really bad (the label boss) and acceptable (the manager).
When the movie focuses on the music career and the kid it’s OK, but the rest is So Much Drama.
