Leave your thoughts about Becks.
| The Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberThe film is very well designed by directors Rohrbaugh and Powell, the musical interludes really sing and the actors make for scintillating company. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyBecks is the kind of modest, non-earthshaking indie enterprise that ends up being so satisfying mostly because it’s about a character type familiar from real life but all too under-represented at the movies. |
| Village VoiceTatiana CraineWith Becks, directors Elizabeth Rohrbaugh and Daniel Powell have crafted an understated musical that really works, thanks to Alyssa Robbins’s heartfelt music and standout performances from the cast. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenSexy and sexually frank, Becks works thanks to the musical talent and offbeat charms of its lead. Hall feels authentic at each moment, whether she's strumming a guitar in a dive bar, fighting with her mother or falling in love. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreHall anchors the picture, at home on stage singing and playing, and a bit of an impulsive, arrested-development mess off it. |
| The New York TimesBen KenigsbergPerhaps recognizing their biggest asset, the directors, Elizabeth Rohrbaugh and Daniel Powell, allow Ms. Hall’s numbers to play out at length... If the screenplay perhaps backs itself into a corner, its irresolution feels true to life. |
| Washington PostPat PaduaLike its protagonist’s fleeting relationships, the film never completely connects. |

| User ReviewmariabolarisBecks is an incredible new film full of real and emotional content. Not only is the film itself fantastic but so are the original score and talented musicians. I was so impressed by Lena Hall’s performance both as an actress and musician. This film manages to be both laugh out loud funny and heartbreakingly sad. My favorite part was the music which developed with Lena Hall’s character as she finds her musical voice following a devastating breakup with her girlfriend. |
| User ReviewdavepalanteBecks is an understated, honest film about relationships and love. Lena Hall plays Becks in her first starring role, and delivers a wholly authentic and emotional performance. The story is simple, but rings true to life. Hall's musical performances are also a lovely touch, invoking some truly poignant moments. I would recommend this film to fans of movies that accurately portray love and relationships, and those who have a soft side for indie rock. |
