CinemaSerf7 Apr 6, 2026Talk about our inner child? This is quite a poignant feature that introduces us to a young and fairly talent-free ''Tom'' who pretends he is in a garage band with his best pal. As he grows up, he continues to dream of being able to perform in front of an audience, but when that time comes he gets a combination of nerves and stage fright in his local pub, and that's when he starts to reminisce about his childhood with his friend and his dad. If there is one message from this film, it is that people have to realise that if they cannot please themselves then they cannot hope to feel fulfilled nor please others. That's not selfishness, but that search for an elusive inner satisfaction with who you are and what you want to be. Of being able to let go of your dreams as well as building towards them, and of ultimately remembering what's important to you and those important to you. There is some nervous fun rolled in here, too, as well as an associable degree of frustration from a father whose solution is to just do it him self - patience is not an inexhaustible resource, and the manifestations of both boys here offers us an amiable element of vulnerability that I found touching.
