The only reason I know anything about this movie is that a couple of pieces of my son's (Raleigh Freeman) art and, supposedly his bedroom, are in it. Groove opened yesterday in St. Louis and I asked three friends who have known Raleigh since he was a baby to go with me to see it. I had hoped to lead a chorus of *gasp* "That's Raleigh's room!" but if it was there, I missed it. However, we did recognize two of his drawings as they flashed by at the beginning and we waited until the last credits rolled and there it was! My baby's name on the big screen!

At any rate, we all loved the movie. (And our ages range from 53 to 67) And we were all delighted we had the connection because otherwise we wouldn't have thought to go see it. We for dinner and all the people around us could have been cast members and we loved them all too.

My introduction to rave was after Raleigh returned from England in 1995--he'd been in Canterbury for a semester and they went up to London to raves every chance they got. Until he left home, my house reverberated with jungle music and all his art reflected his rave experience.

The movie fit the impressions I'd gotten from him.

Anyhow, Groove has got the little old lady vote. Maybe Ebert reflects a guy thing. [Read entire topic]
