Great watching experience, the two leads are fantastic and all the music is really catchy and good. I'm excited to see where this film goes! Seriously top notch job by everyone involved.
The songs in this were pretty good, and I really loved the actors voices together (if they used different singers you really can't tell) their harmonies are beautiful. The movie also kept me guessing, which doesn't happen often for me. The story is told in pieces, somewhat in reverse which was a fresh take too. There were moments I found James to be frustrating, but I think that's just a well written character for you, there are moments where the tension is palpable and you really feel what Lena is thinking without her saying it and there is a lot that goes unsaid but it doesn't need to be said to feel what they're thinking or why, which is interesting because you meet the characters in their journey well before the journey is established, but you can still get a good feel for what's going on. Definitely worth a watch!

I really loved the movie. It's got great romance between the 2 main characters. I was really invested in their story. The music was so good! I had the songs stuck in my head and need to find this soundtrack on Spotify! Definitely a great one if you like romance and musical movies. It has star is born vibes but without the super sad ending. The main character was very relatable to me and reminded me a lot of myself in my 20s even though I have zero musical ability. I found myself rooting for these 2 and the romance was very real and palpable. This is probably one of the best films I've seen of the year.

The leading character are amazing and the music was fantastic . I truly believe that this film will go so far hopefully nominated for a few awards... amazing work by everyone. I loved romances movies and this was perfect if that's what your looking for you think they will fall in love then they make you think they won't and so. I was on the edge of my seat hoping james and lena end up together. Their love story is so amazing. The cinematography in this film beautifully shows their journey. It's truly a must see 100/10. I will be recommending this movie to everyone i see. Music lovers will fall in love with this movie just like i did.
This movie was great, I recommend watching this movie if you love music !! It's so great, I enjoyed watching every bit of it especially because I love music!! I really hope everyone enjoys this movie as it is so heartwarming. Absolutely brilliant, it's got great direction, great acting and more! Really hope to see this movie gain more popularity towards the end of the year. Completely underrated I think it deserves more recognition on social media! The plot is astonishing I never really thought it would be this amazing. Great well done to the directors, actors and all involved in this. A great job really.

The vibes, the music, the characters, the setting, the scenes, the instruments are all what make this film come together and alive. Prime video was great for putting this on there.

This film belongs in the theaters! It had an authenticity that many romcom-esque movies lack nowadays. The characters have depth, and you can't help but fall in love with them and their dynamic. The songs throughout the film were beautiful. As a musician who is obsessed with romcoms, I really enjoyed the plotline. The acting felt very real and the chemistry within the cast was undeniable. I enjoyed the film's structure, with the interview, flashbacks, and even further flashbacks. It really all came together to tell the story. I look forward to following the careers of all involved, as there was wonderful talent both in front of and behind the camera. 10/10, my new rainy day comfort movie.

Watching this movie I was constantly on the edge of happy tears. The amazing songs and the journey that Lenna and James are on together was peak perfection. The beautiful emotions and moment shared between the two characters was so special and adorable. The chemistry between the two awesome cast members was absolutely amazing. I felt complete by the end of the movie, the emotion and absolute excellence and the deliverance of the story was beyond awesome or prefect. It was absolute cinema at its peak. The ending almost had me at tears and I want a sequel!!!! I also highly recommend anyone to watch!!!

The film was cute, very true to the rom com vibe. Characters were compelling and the story line was very different. The music was also very enjoyable and the actors clearly had a lot of chemistry. I would recommend for an easy leisure watch when you're in the mood for something not too deep. I like that the movie is set at that moment in life where we have to decide between school or a passion. A lot of time in life we find ourselves at that cross road or do we do it, or do we not, and these are life changing choices even though we may not realize it at the time of making them. Something really beautiful can come from taking a chance.

I'm a young musician and this film really hit home for me! A blend of passion, songwriting, romance, and courage along with a compelling narrative provided a story that we aspiring musicians can relate to and learn from. The protagonists were so relatable and you just can't wait for them to fall in love throughout the movie. This film drew out the messy feelings of a love-business partnership while painting a picture of what it's like to collaborate and make music. The songs are great and definitely worth listening to on your own time!
I couldn't help but feel inspired by Lena and James's story and I can't wait to see more from this director!

I'm a sucker for romance movies, and this movie has the sweetest little "will they/won't they" that I've seen in a LONG time. That, and the music was great! Was so surprised to see that it was all original tracks. Rare that we get that kind of thing in movies anymore! Last I can recount is Daisy Jones and the Six, which this movie was definitely reminscent of. A little less heartbreaking in the end, but really, that's just all the better for us viewers. This movie really is a can't miss for 2024 movies, especially if you're into the whole indie music scene. I really liked how accurately it portrayed the music industry too!
~This movie was so uplifting and entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the 2 leading characters, Lena & James writing their first album reflecting upon their relationship! I really liked how the movie focused on how difficult it can be to pursue a creative career, but the fact that you will do it with the person you love - It had such a great message! The songs are also catchy, the entire cast is extremely talented, and it's definitely a 10/10 movie! Highly recommend you watch it-especially if you are a musical nerd or enjoy love-romance films! I was engaged the entire time & this movie had me hooked!

"The Brink Of" masterfully tells the story of two musicians caught in a will-they-won't-they situation. I was on the edge of my seat, rooting for Lena and James to end up together. Their love story is truly inspiring, and their shared passion for music deepens their connection. The soundtrack is also so good! The cinematography beautifully captures their journey, adding an extra layer of depth to their story. I highly recommend everyone watch this film but especially to music lovers and hopeless romantics. It's a must-see! 10/10. This film is a perfect blend of romance and music that will leave a lasting impression.

It's very charming! I loved the drama of it and the music aspect of it. I think this deserves way more recognition.he film's intimate atmosphere is one of its standout features, capturing the emotional depth of the characters through its music-driven narrative. Both Norgaard and Hoffmann deliver grounded performances, bringing a sense of authenticity to their roles as musicians torn between personal connection and creative partnership. The music serves as an extension of the characters' inner turmoil, heightening the drama and complementing the film's romantic undertones. Would recommend!!!!!!

A lovely love story and great music. A young couple growing and finding their way to achieve their goals is enhanced with the awesome music that is wound throughout the movie. The singing and songwriting ties the actors journey of their struggles and ups and downs in this thing we call life and eventually grows into a lasting relationship. The music stays with you long after you've left the movie. A must see for an enjoyable evening and really eye opening for a date night ! Hoping to seeing more from Hoffman and Norgaard. Director and screenwriter, Patrick Meaney shows great promise of what we have to look forward to in the future of filmmaking.

I totally enjoyed both the love story and the music in this delightful indie film. The performances and the chemistry between the two stars, Nicolette Norgaard and Tim Hoffmann, were spot on.
Norgaard's coming of age performance that began as a bashful teenager and eventually culminated in a confident performer was outstanding. And Hoffmann's character also showed growth from a somewhat self-absorbed teenager to a sensitive man who became worthy of Norgaard's affections. Hoffmann has a lot of charm and charisma, and he added a lot of humor to the movie.
The singing and songwriting was wonderful, just the kind of music that lifts your spirits and stays with you long after you've heard it. I found myself humming the tunes days later.
Sit back and enjoy this sweet movie. It'll make your day.
