A gem
An underrated gem of a movie - highly recommend!
This Irish film is about a drummer (with Bipolar) who develops an unlikely friendship with a keeper (with Asperger's). The two leads delivered convincing performances and had excellent chemistry. The characters felt well developed and I found them believable.
Equal parts charming, depressive and heartwarming - I was engaged the whole time and rooting for each character to overcome their challenges. The film has a refreshing original vibe - even though some elements were predictable towards the end.
If you like Netflix's "Atypical" then you'll probably love this. Being a drummer myself, it added an extra layer of interest. "The Drummer and the Keeper" is an uplifting hidden gem that put a big smile on my face. Recommend!
I know it will be a film that stays with me for days.
Treat yourself to a unique story carried by brilliant acting/directing and soundtrack.
I just love everything about this movie. Couldn't fault it. The story is so unique and it has been treated with such care and respect. Acting is brilliant with great soundtrack and directing. What is it about these Irish movies? Begosh and begorrah, they're a joy to watch.
