Capping of this Christmas by watching Brett Haley's Hearts Beat Loud. My, but this film sure is comfy. Ted Danson works the bar, the only music that exists is hipster indie, all the sunshine is gentle and happy, and Nick Offerman's ASMR-purring voice suffuses all. It's delightful. This movie is also a blatant fantasy. A struggling small business owner being friends and possibly lovers with his landlady who's eager to help him keep his shop (located in prime Brooklyn real estate)? A "band" hitting it big with one song on Spotify? But that's fine; it's okay for some films to be breezy, happy sits where everything turns out okay because nothing much was actually threatened in the first place. Would definitely watch this film again on a chilly, rainy day while wrapped in a blanket with a cup of hot cocoa.
Rating: 7/10
