It's 2006, and George -- a small-town sixteen-year-old -- is on the road to complete social and academic failure. He dreams of being a star, knows he's a gifted musician -- but no one else seems to agree.... So, when Max -- the son of a mega-famous musical duo -- enrolls at his school and takes an interest in his music, George can't believe it! Neither can anyone else. But as the boys grow closer, George begins to question why he actually wants to spend time with Max, finding himself faced with a dream-come-true scenario... if only he knew what his dream-come-true really is.

Peter Bradshaw Guardian 10/11/2023
3/5
Nice performances from Anders and Small bolster this movie’s likability factor. Go to Full Review
Ben Turner The Pink Lens 03/30/2025
3/5
There’s certainly nothing offensive or dislikeable on show here, but there’s similarly very little to arrest our attention. It’s a nice way to spend a few hours, but so is going for a walk. Go to Full Review
Joe Lipsett Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast 03/11/2025
3/5
A sweet, albeit slight, queer coming out film featuring a cast of likeable actors, virtually zero stakes, and a typical British ending. Great for filling in the void left by Heartstopper and Sex Education. Go to Full Review
Nadine Whitney The Curb 02/15/2025
Bonus Track can be a little sugary but not every queer coming of age story needs to be mired in trauma. Queer kids deserve their fantastic romances too, and that’s what Bonus Track delivers. Go to Full Review
Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex 02/14/2025
6/10
As an LGBTQ+ romance and a coming-of-age story, Bonus Track does enough to make the feel-good elements stand out. While it borrows from other stories, Jackman executes the ideas at a high level. Go to Full Review
Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 02/13/2025
4/5
It's anchored beautifully by lead actors Joe Anders and Samuel Small, surrounded by an ace supporting cast. Go to Full Review
