In 1970s Belfast, Terri Hooley is an idealistic rocker who finds himself caught in the middle of Northern Ireland's bitter Troubles. Seeing a parallel in the chaos with Jamaica, Hooley opens a record shop, Good Vibrations, to help bring reggae music to his city to help encourage some harmony. However, Hooley soon discovers a new music genre, punk rock, and is inspired by its youthful vitality to become an important record producer and promoter of the local scene. In doing so, Hooley would struggle both with the industry's realities and his chaotic personal life that threaten to consume him. However, he would also be instrumental in creating an alternative Irish community that would bridge his land's religious and social rivalries with an art no one expected.

Movie Reviews

ABC Radio Brisbane - 8/10 by Matthew ToomeyThe film does most things by the book but it's still an interesting biopic about a person that you probably won't be familiar with.
Observer (UK) - 8/10 by Philip FrenchRichard Dormer is immensely likable as Hooley, and Karl Johnson brings a dour conviction to his father, an elderly disillusioned communist who finds spiritual victory in electoral defeat.
Screenwize - 8/10 by Simon WeavingChock full of vigour, great punk tunes and larrikin wit, this feel-good film tells the story of Terri Hooley, a man who brings music to a battered 1970s Belfast.
Flicks.co.nz - 8/10 by Matt GlasbyAn extraordinary labour of love about an even more extraordinary labour of love.
Birmingham Mail - 8/10 by Graham YoungThe undercurrent mixture of aggression and delirium is helped by the fact that Terri Hooley's bearded visage at times mixes the psycho side of some of Robert De Niro's characters with comical Robin Williams.
Daily Star - 8/10 by Andy LeaIt's the background of the Troubles that gives this rousing biopic its edge.
Movie Talk - 8/10 by Jason BestThis is very much Hooley's mythic version of his own life, seen not so much through a rose-tinted lens as a brown nicotine fug... But Dormer's charm keeps us engaged and whenever there's a lull the music gives the movie a thrilling adrenaline shot.
UTV - 8/10 by Brian Henry MartinGood Vibrations is the big screen life story of the legendary Terri Hooley, Belfast's godfather of punk and the owner of the city's most famous record shop.
The List - 8/10 by Paul GallagherIt's inspiring stuff, showing the community-building power of music in an environment of fear and ever-present violence.
Empire Magazine - 8/10 by Damon WiseA rousing tale of rock 'n' roll rebellion that shows how one man's black-vinyl passions ended up socking it to The Man.
