Review of Let It Shine (2012) by Sonny H — 22 Dec 2015

I don't know why I like this film so much, is it the catchy music, the good acting, I don't know. The story of this film is clichéd but the execution is just sublime, the story is that Cyrus produces a song for this competition from a famous singer called Roxanne who Cyrus knew in school, he enters the competition and wins but by accident his friend Kris gets mistaken as the winner because Cyrus sent in a photo of him with Kris.

Kris then has to pretend to be Cyrus and Cyrus has to hold back his emotions. The acting by the whole cast is phenomenal especially Tyler James Williams who is just magnifying. I did say the story is clichéd but the writing does make you care for the characters, so when at the end of the film you really do care about what happens.

the music is what will break or make this film and oh my god this film has some of the catchiest music ever, like when I heard the song "don't run away" I couldn't get it out of my head and that is a credit to the people who wrote the song and Tyler James Williams.

This is honestly one of my favourite films, it's not for everyone but I can't help but love it. I give this film 10/10.
