What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though high on energy and great techno tunes, Groove's characters and plotlines are too cliched to be engaging.

David Ansen Newsweek This techno-propelled mash note to the rave spirit sticks to the surface, but it burrows just far enough inside its young, confused, pleasure-seeking characters to make us care how they greet the dawn. Mar 6, 2018 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 2/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Globe and Mail Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 19, 2002 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com Harrison's eye for detail paints a fairly vivid slice-of-life picture.

mike k It's no Human Traffic, but this film is still fun to watch and gets things right from a 90s rave perspective. Turn it on at 6am when you can't sleep or are still up from the night before. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/24 Full Review BigD J Yes, it's a bit corny. Then again, it's probably next to impossible to emulate/replicate the true rave experience. You just had to be there. For those of us who were involved in the scene in the underground days, this movie hits home. Not even gonna lie, I tear up a bit with the Digweed scene every time lol. This film actually had some fairly deep meaning to it. Rigid, uptight guy needs to loosen up a bit falls for the girl who needs to get her life together. This film is a timeless classic! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/24 Full Review Audience Member gr8! another lost review! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I haven't watched this in ages. Always classic.
