Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

wolfens29 This is one movie which will appeal to people who like Trance music /trance tech music which i readily relate to..as i'm a big fan of trance.. I was surprised that inspite of the dancing ..this is a "not-bad" story line at all.. Im all so carried away with the music that i just might be partial to this movie.. but having said that the story is something to reckon with .. yes i love the 3 lead actors in the movie... kinda shock that one of the friends actually died of drug overdose... kinda sad .. as these friends are doing their best to achieve goals set in their lives and it happen sadly..Inspiring definitely... i was surprise how he concocted the music , sound effects and all related to his experience in life.. that's like a big WOW... it gives me the chill after i heard the final music... i warn people who does not like dance music not to watch this film or even attempt to put their comments as i don't see the point.. its like watching an atheist giving their comment on a religious film ...we let people who appreciates music films to review this film .. then we listen once again..

mrsi4mon . I'm going to start off by saying that I know this film did not do well in the box office or in many other reviews, and I can see certain points about it being a superficial story, however right there is where the negatives stop for me with this movie. Contrary to what a lot of critics are saying about this film being one dimensional, I found it to be completely the opposite. This movie totally caught me off guard by adding layer after layer of subtle reach-backs and nods to itself, and the EDM industry as a whole.Firstly, the idea for the film (a talented kid hoping to one day become a successful with EDM, coming from essentially nothing) caught my interest right away, due to the specific focus on electronic music, which I really connect with, and the film did not disappoint in that regard. The soundtrack was on point with a lot of great songs being mixed in with a ton of new music made just for the film. In that regard I found the movie to be genius, as the soundtrack acted as a persistent metaphor of what EDM music is. This was an extremely cool feature, and was just one of the layers that impressed me with this filmNow in regards to the story, it did start off a little slowly, and the introduction of characters was a little sloppy; however the unique filming style and artistic merit that accompanied the introduction took my mind off critiquing this initial letdown. From then onwards the film builds slowly into an incredibly emotional climax that gave me goosebumps. For me this films had everything: grit, romance, intriguing characters, a great score, subtle yet powerful moments where the film reached back to past scenes that supported the story, and some very emotional moments, concluding with a banger of a final scene before cutting to credits. I know this film gets ripped on a lot, but that ultimately just lowers expectations and offer greater potential for these expectations to be proved wrong. All in all if you are looking for an entertaining way to spend a few hours, We Are Your Friends will provide you with exactly that.

Hellmant 'WE ARE YOUR FRIENDS': Four Stars (Out of Five)Low-budget drama flick; about a 23-year-old aspiring DJ, trying to make it in the San Fernando Valley music scene. It was directed by first-time feature filmmaker Max Joseph; and it was written by Joseph, Meghan Oppenheimer and Richard Silverman (all first-time feature scriptwriters). The movie stars Zac Efron, Wes Bentley, Emily Ratajkowski, Jonny Weston, Shiloh Fernandez and Alex Shaffer. I think it's a pretty interesting look at the electronic dance music scene, in California. Efron plays Cole Carter; a 23-year-old that desperately wants to become a successful DJ. He lives in San Fernando Valley, with his friend Mason (Weston). Mason also acts as Cole's producer. He and their other friends, Ollie (Fernandez) and Squirrel (Shaffer), spend a lot of their time promoting Cole; at the local college campus. Things take a serious turn, when Cole meets an older veteran DJ, named James Reed (Bentley); who takes Cole under his wing. Things become especially complicated, when Cole falls for James's girlfriend, Sophie (Ratajkowski).The movie only made a modest profit at the Box Office, and it got only mixed reviews from critics. I really like it though. It has a cult classic feel to it; reminiscent to movies like 1990s 'PUMP UP THE VOLUME'. It's well directed and written, and there's a really memorable animated drug sequence in it. The performances are all decent; especially Efron, in the lead. Definitely worth seeing.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: https://youtu.be/EuKmXpjFt-k

Jordan Jacobs I really liked it! Even Zac Efron, as a man roughly the same age as him, I hate to like him, but he's hard to hate in this one. It was beautifully shot. It's a movie surrounding the digital music scene. There's parties, drugs, music, and extremely beautiful women. "I love it here". The whole movie builds (albeit slowly at some points) towards the ending pretty nicely. Wes Bentley is one of the best at playing those characters you love to hate. Him and Zac have a very genuine relationship., in fact the whole movie is very genuine to me.Emily Ratajkowski though.... I mean, she's literal perfection. They actually make me want to "roll" in Vegas. I can't imagine what that life would be like being from a small Canadian town. Maybe that's why I enjoyed it so much. I got to see what it would be like to do things people think you're not supposed to. Seeing the pitfalls and triumphs of the ride was pretty amazing. Any rating below a 7 is a crime, how many story lines are 100% organic, give me this over another Spider-Man reboot any day...Pretty pumped for the Spider-Man reboots TBH.
