Reviews for Groove
A nice little change of pace, one that features an appealing cast of fresh faces and an infectious sense of fun.
01/01/00
This film seems a little sanitized.
01/01/00
Harrison understands his material, creating a slice of life that pulses like one of John Digweed's mixes.
01/01/00
There's such a sunny air about this subterranean party story that it's difficult not to like.
01/01/00
A sweet-natured ode to rave culture saddled with a ridiculously clichéd plot line.
01/01/00
Achieves its high by tapping into the real thing -- the wonder of making movies.

Mostly infectious and exciting, and made me wanna get up and dance in the aisles.

What's infectious about Groove is the friendly, almost innocent way that its brat pack of digital-age bohemians seek liberation in a world where there is nothing left to rebel against.

Top CriticOne gets the impression that going to a rave is a lot more fun than watching one. (And avoiding raves altogether seems like an even better plan.)

Top CriticWhat Groove lacks in personality it makes up for in breathless, cafeinated, fervid presentation.

Top CriticHarrison has such a wry, benign view of his subjects, and such an obvious appreciation of rave culture, that the film goes down effortlessly.
01/01/00
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.

Watching someone else look at their hands, or stare at a pattern of psychedelic colors, or engage in the sort of banal chit-chat that seems so heavy when you're stoned out of your gourd, just doesn't cut it as entertainment.
01/01/00
Pleasantly modest, endearingly etched and briskly set to a pounding beat.
01/01/00
With unreal characters that utter meaningless dialog, the movie drifts along on a drug-induced cloud of blissful shallowness.
