Authentic and beautiful movie.

Rating: Null/10 (16 August 2019)

I am such a big fan of Richard Linklater, yet I hadn't seen School of Rock until now, and I think it is another one, of which there are many, of his best movies. It's so much fun from start to finish, has awesome performances even though it has a cast largely consisting of kids, which is normally rarely a good thing, though here a cast like that totally delivered. The passion for making a fun and uplifting film is felt all the time and Linklater also manages to not overdo it. It's not too sugary and feels fully authentic. Jack Black is brilliant in the role and is a big reason why the film works so perfectly and why the kids were able to have great chemistry together and literally rock. Shout-out to Miranda Cosgrove who I was so happy to see in this. I belong to the generation that saw iCarly as a kid, so that was a hilarious surprise. She's so adorable, funny and just fantastic in her role.
I am sure I'll watch this movie many many more times. Richard Linklater, I say it all the time, I love that dude and can't wait to catch up on every single one of his movies.
