Very enjoyable to watch. Not earthshocking though.

Rating: 7/10 (12 September 2000)

What set High Fidelity apart for me, was the fact that John Cusack's character evoked my sympathy even though he had few redeeming characteristics. I also particularly liked the narration style which consisted largely of John Cusack talking to the camera, it reminded me of Scorsese's Goodfellas. And i was happy to see that there was no overly sentimental, sugarcoated ending, which would have ruined the film's moody atmosphere.
