A slow and poorly focused music drama eventually comes into its own. |
Off the Record is the type of movie that could do very poorly with a misperception of its genre. A quick glance at the poster, plot summary and the cast – Ryan Hansen and Rainey Qualley (sister of current it-girl Margaret Qualley) – and one is entering the movie mistakenly assuming it’s a music industry romantic comedy. A costly mistake since this is absolutely not a comedy, but a drama warning about the misogynistic, cut-throat dangers of the music industry hiding amongst the dangers of an abusive relationship. | 2024 Directed by: Kirsten Foe Screenplay by: Kirsten Foe Starring: Rainey Qualley, Ryan Hansen | |
