    Relatively event-less rave culture insight. British versions appeal more to me really. John Digweed is in it though... plugging his single

    I truly enjoyed this movie and felt I was there the whole night. This movie is definitely not meant for anyone, much less for those who still don't understand what indie films are about.
    the music is excellent, varied and well chosen. The appearance by a certain superstar DJ at t...( read more)his small rave of around 200 people has been rightly called unrealistic, and lets just say that acting is not his strong point.

    Has it's moments. Dance music peeked 2 or 3 years before this movie, and a lot of it was crap then. Much of the tunes in this feel like the stuff you play while waiting for things to kick off. Digweed sounds like he plays some good tracks though

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Like drug movies from the 1960s, it's naive, believing that the problems of the straight life can be solved by dropping out and tuning in. full review
