Watch Groove For Free

From my favorite movies..

best movie i've ever seen.

Absolutely the worst movie.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

The comment below me couldn't be more wrong about rolling and talking and expressing yourself. I have been rolling for 7 years now...and I have expressed myself very fully while doing it. There are moments when I don't even feel like touching and feeling and blah blah blah...there are moments I would rather sit and talk then touch and feel. A rave is a great time to reflect, if you can find a quiet enough spot to do it in...yes that is difficult at times at parties, but it is possible. The below comment is so wrong it insulted me. I wasn't even a member of this site, I registered specifically to make sure that people know not to listen to the foolish comment below. That person is WRONG. I have reflected a lot at raves in the past 6 years that I have been in the scene, I have talked and expressed myself more than I can even say in the 7 years that I have been doing E. This movie is the BEST depiction of a rave, ever. It makes you feel like you're there, the end is better than any other rave movie I have ever seen (GO pretty much sucked) and um...yea, I love Groove because of the way it truthfully depicts not only the scene, but the feelings involved in the scene and in rolling. This movie is TRUE. Period.

Unlikable wooden characters deliver poorly scripted lines at an unrealistic warehouse party. Hilarity ensues. Yes, Harrison may have tried to encapsulate the rave scene in meticulous detail, but anyone who thinks he's actually succeeded in this is overlooking the most glaringly obvious element of fantasy in the whole film: John "£3,000 per hour" Digweed playing at an illegal warehouse party for free? What a joke. Speaking of Mr. Digweed, did anyone else notice how uncomfortable he looked throughout the film, and how he couldn't keep a straight face when delivering his first cringeworthy line? Also uproarious - The pseudo-scientific 'jargon' released by the token 'smart guy' through which we are meant to be impressed with Harrison's erudition, and the painful 'literary' conversation that they have in the Chill Room, which amounts to nothing more than flagrant name dropping without a trace of substance to make it credible. Has Harrison even read Kerouac, Burroughs and Hemingway? Probably not, if Groove is a product of his love affair with the printed word.You can imagine someone - even yourself, probably - being bludgeoned by narcotic stupidity and thinking it would be an awesome idea to make a movie in which each plot segment was defined by a different DJ set. But then the drugs would wear off and you'd feel embarrassed for conceiving an idea so excruciatingly prone to cliché. You wouldn't actually turn it into a film. But someone did.You've got to see this. It is tremendously entertaining, but not in the way intended by the screenwriter/director. It's a veritable masterclass on transforming bad ideas into an embarrassingly dire product.

Groove is a short film that weaves several characters and stories into one night at a San Fransisco rave. Shot on a bottom-feeding budget, this movie isn't the most compelling or convincing story to be told about raves, but it is a pretty postcard. When you watch this movie you see a rave take place from start to finish, each dj taking over from the last and creating a new vibe.Groove is an unpolished love letter to raves and ravers alike. Through it's winding narrative, the film carefully balances the positive side of love and unity through music with the realities of drug use and sketchy characters at raves. From the moment the film starts at the pre-rave warehouse, you're taken into a subculture that reveres its music of choice and accepts its substance abuse as normal.The direction of the film goes from subplot to subplot, often interweaving but never confusing. Along the lines of a postcard, the stories tell the human side against the backdrop of many shots just devoted to people dancing and having fun. Some performances from the main characters were too cliché and underdone for their themes, but on the whole Groove feels real: to those who have been all-nighters and to those who still rave, everyone in the movie is someone you've met along the journey of raving.Groove had great cinematography and really pulled me into the rave atmosphere, but some of the direction and dialogue was unrealistic. Nevertheless, I suggest renting it. A good subculture flick with enough substance not to leave a bad aftertaste.7/10

This film reproduce the feeling of underground parties, in a Hollywood way. So it is a bit naive, happy-ending type, but definitely makes you re-feel the good memories of partying, or gives you an impression if you never experienced it. It shows lot of the ideas behind party-culture, some based on hippy culture (PeaceLoveUnityRespect, rejecting money, pre-made life vs. conscious life, acceptance, etc.) The music and how they used it in the film is also great. John Digweed is very cool, but the other party-scenes also. The film also shows the bad part of party-life (losing time, you dreams about yourself are nicer according to what you can really be). It shows the paranoid parts too, although if you have not felt yourself, maybe you will not realize it, or it will not mean a lot for you. Somehow the whole thing is an utopia what is in every party-people's mind, I do not know, if I ever experienced it as a whole, or it is only a dream. But it is definiately a platonic idea, if you know what it means (it lives inside everybody without experienced it ever).
