Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism
JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Adam Arpasi This movie make me feel really great. I really like Zac play in this movie (not only in this) and of course the gorgeous Emily. Nice musics, motivating story. I will watch it again for sure!
georgeneoellis We are your friends is personally one of my favourite films. Its extremely engaging and connects with the viewer in many various ways throughout. Its got everything: drugs, women, sex, violence, and partying. Its a feel good movie and also sad and serious at times. It has everything for me, not to mention the utter beauty of Emily Ratajkowski. Thorughout the film it makes you just want to get up and dance with Zac and the whole group. I do not see a single floor in the acting and even though its not the best it certainly does the job. It is such a fantastic film and i highly recommend it ti anyone who; loves beautiful women who make your heart melt, crazy parties and well anything that's fun. Watch this film!!!
Viraj Abeysekera Zach Efron plays Cole Carter, a small-time local California DJ struggling to find his way into the upper echelons of the EDM scene. His friend group serve as his anchors, although ultimately their different paths don't really mesh with Cole's own dreams and goals (this all culminates in a pivotal scene near the end of the film). He unwittingly catches a big break at a local club where he is noticed by James (Wes Bentley) a once-great DJ who has become bitter and jaded. His wealth and industry connections continue to make him relevant, however. Seeing promise in Cole James takes him under his wing. Through James Cole is introduced to Sophie, who he is immediately taken with. Cue the typical romantic love triangle sub- plot conflict. To this film's credit it plays it better than most movies of this type. The film's music does it quite the credit in complementing its scenes. I'm not a fan of EDM admittedly, and I still managed to be engaged. Wes Bentley really steals the show here in my opinion; he gives the only truly good performance in this film. "We Are Your Friends" doesn't break any new ground, nor is it trying to. It's simply playing to its own rhythm and its up to you if you whether or not you want to follow along. Recommended for anyone into/interested in electronic music.
Felix Martinsson This film makes me wish I were back in LA. I feel like this was the answer to some of the artsy videos we can find here on Youtube. I thought the film was okay, I had higher expectations, NEVER have high expectations.. It's better you go there thinking this film will be okay, and be surprised than thinking it will be amazing and it's just okay. if that makes sense. The one thing that got me in this film, was how I really wanted to go to the gym and work out, run and listen to music. But that's about it. It's about friendship and forbidden love wish I usually like, but I wasn't sure where they were going with everything in this film. Words to describe the film: DJ, Music, Friendship, drugs, booze, workout, artsy. I give it 7 out of 10
