It costars stars Elle Fanning, Rebecca Hall and Zlatko Burić, a nice pairing, despite the cliches in the script. Minghella (aka Nick the driver in “The Handmaid’s Tale“) directs “Teen Spirit,” a film that takes place in the world of British pop music competitions, with real visual panache, and a simplicity that makes it go down easy, but that’s the problem. Despite the director’s skill for the visually stimulating, there’s a conventionality to the screenplay that does it a major disservice.
I wrote in my review:
“Minghella’s cinematographer here is the talented Autumn Durald Arkapaw, whose overtly lavish visuals, combined with Cam McLauchlin‘s frenetic editing gives the film’s musical sequences an ADD-driven music video feel.”
