Leave your thoughts about Heavy Trip.
| RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsA Finnish ensemble comedy about a wannabe black metal band, is probably the only film you'll see this year with a crowd-surfing corpse. Don't let the last part of that sentence dissuade you from seeing Heavy Trip: it's a real crowdpleaser. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDeborah YoungPart let's-get-it-together band saga and part road movie, the story arc is awfully familiar, but that doesn't stop it being a rollicking romp. |
| L.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonIn their feature debut, co-writers/directors Juuso Laatio and Jukka Vidgren and co-writers Aleksi Puranen and Jari Olavi Rantala reach for absurdist comedy — the reindeer-blood accident, the projectile-vomit bit, the grave-robbing incident — with a touch so light that the general nuttiness comes to seem a central (and essential) component of Finnish rural life. |
| The A.V. ClubKatie RifeWhile the film’s attempts at slapstick can be painful — in a cringing way, not in a brutal way — Heavy Trip does succeed in creating perhaps the most charming ensemble of morbid dorks since "What We Do In The Shadows." |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenPlaying like a Nordic “This is Spinal Tap,” the Finnish import Heavy Trip, a satire about an aspiring heavy metal band’s efforts to land its first legitimate gig, proves as affably goofy as its characters. |
| Consequence of SoundDominick Suzanne-MayerAs a fish-out-of-water comedy, it’s effectively funny more often than it isn’t, and as an ode to the unlikely communities that arise around black metal, it’s entirely sincere in its intentions. |
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerIt's no "Metalocalypse" (pretty much the only metal comedy to completely break the rules), and there are no new classic anthems here, but if you want to bang your head to a very familiar beat, Heavy Trip is a solid cover version. |
| Film ThreatFilipe FreitasHeavy Trip is an absurdist, powerhouse folly, which feels spunky enough to honor the musical genre and comes filled with deadpan hilarity to please comedy addicts. |
| Slant MagazinePat BrownIts story distances heavy metal from any whiff of toxic masculinity by setting Turo and company against homophobes and rakes. |
| User Reviewmaestro666This was insane absolutely love it. This is funny original entertaining. |
