Giddy Stratospheres

This was a nostalgic ride through the indie music years with some great performances and a soundtrack that takes you through a journey of the 00s. It is also so good to see such talented newcomers lighting up the screen, especially Laura Jean Marsh who directed and starred in this movie, bring on the next chapter.

An incredible achievement during lockdown not to mention how good the final product is. Great watch, extremely nostalgic and fantastic twist. The team should be proud of this!

Really enjoyed this film, the party scenes gave huge hits of nostalgia especially after being locked indoors for the last year! The fragility and sorrow of the storyline is so beautifully portrayed and unexpected. Would definitely recommend a watch of Giddy Stratospheres and very excited to see what the actors and team behind it do next.

Loved everything about it! Felt like I was transported back :) Felt like I knew everyone there, amazing soundtrack too! Giddy Stratospheres 2 please!

Well shot and accompanied by an incredible soundtrack, the film takes you on an emotional journey! The Giddy Stratosphere team should be proud of the outcome, especially due to the circumstances A lovely film and dedication to this time, hats off to all involved!

This film is a gorgeous, raw, honest and nostalgic tour of one persons realities in the 00's. How any number of trolls seem to think they have a monopoly over this whole period of time is beyond me! Kudos to the Giddy team for putting in all their energy and having the guts to create such a personal piece of film making! I loved it!

The party scenes - wow! I have met both the delightful AND the horrendous characters in a pub situation in the past - a perfect portrayal. Several laugh out loud moments & tears while watching, too... A must-watch for those that were in the scene back then!

I loved this film. The 00's music scene was a great time for DIY bands and club nights. This film captures that familiar sense of adventure and despair, all often rolled into one nights escapades. The music too is one step removed from the mainstream idea of who was really making waves. Post-punk ideals were resurrected, people"formed a band" just because they could. However, drugs also played a part too, and sometimes, they ruined futures. Really though, the film is about friendship, that one person who's always there for you, sometimes the one you take for granted. Some of the supporting cast are there for light relief, whilst others paint a grim picture of what drugs can do to your sense of reality. Don't read the bad reviews on here, left by internet plankton who never got it it together enough to even write a song, let alone make a film. Now they just lurk on social media like they did in chatrooms in the 00s. Sad. It's a portrait, a snapshot in time, about an era still relatively unexplored by film makers because its too recent. Also, the cinematography is crazy good.

Film totally took me back to 2007, would often find me dressed like the cast in the same places they were at that time. There are darker shifts in tone which reminded me that it wasn't all fun and games too. Great performance by the cast, and attention to detail with the costume design. Watch!
