SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
jgstone-99906 While skeptical at first, i'm now officially telling all my friends (EDM lovers and others) about What We Started ! I love this film because it tells such a beautiful story and is so informative to all who watch it. Whether your a modern EDM fan, an OG fan, or not a fan at all, this film does a great job of paralleling and contrasting the old with the new, with an exceptional cast.
akilianetc-23277 I'm a fan of the genre and have been for over 5 years. When watching this film, I learned a lot from the history pertaining to the early days of the genre, how the DJ's would perform in different settings, etc. I especially liked hearing the insight from the current artists topping the charts in this genre and from different generations. Overall, if you're not a EDN fan, you will be intrigued from this film, learn some history of this genre and have a better idea of why the fans of this genre are really passionate.
ekbacon I always loved EDM and this further expanded my knowledge on the genre. Very interesting film would definitely recommend
amandagarglyes I went to a director's screening of WHAT WE STARTED and it is a must see. In particular, I absolutely loved getting to know the characters. Martin Garrix is so different than my initial impression of him! He is so sweet, deep and humble. I also loved hearing Carl Cox's story and I might try to sneak into the March premiere, so that I can meet him. He seems truly amazing. I love all kinds of music, but never knew a ton about this genre, so I found it to be really educational, too, which was a great surprise (since I expected mostly upbeat, entertainment, which this has, but it has more than just that)!
