As another reviewer has said, this is very obviously based on a book called The Sensitives by Herbert Burkholz, despite not a word saying so anywhere in the credits.
It's a mediocre adaptation with rather wooden acting, enjoyable enough but not at all as complex or interesting as the book.
The book I enjoyed very much, bought it in 1988 when it was released. I've always wanted to see it made into a film - but one worthy of it.

My brother, who prefers blue grass music, once said about Coldplay that they are a band you really want to hate but just can't quite bring yourself to do so. I understood exactly what he meant. I thoroughly enjoy their music when it comes on the radio, sing along happily, but have never contemplated buying any of their music or going to a concert.
With all of that said, I found this a really interesting film to watch. To see how a band started off is always fascinating, to see how they really are together as people helps give another dimension to their music and to hear their love for their music, their bandmates and their supporters really is a pleasure.
This film is really well put together and because it was filmed by a friend through their career, it doesn't ever feel fake or forced.
The pieces from the current concerts are just amazing, the shows that Coldplay put on are obviously spectacles and the amount of energy Chris Martin exhibits whilst singing - performing - surprised me.
A very enjoyable film, whether you are a fan or not. Well done.

You go into watching a film like this generally knowing what to expect. It's not great art but, for a teen dance film, it's enjoyable.
Hip-hop dancer Fabian Svegaard Tapia is a terrific dancer and, I have to say, doesn't do a bad job on the acting either. On top of that he's very very easy on the eyes, with a pleasant amount of charisma and intensity about him. Lisa Tiege isn't dreadful either. They do have a good chemistry and their final dance scene together I found very expressive and intense, aided by a really good song, haunting with great lyrics (Youth by Daughter).
All-in-all I enjoyed it. but then I'm a bit of a closet teen romance kind of woman; perhaps I never grew out of the brat pack phase despite my advancing years! Throw in some good dancing and I'm content.
