Critics Consensus

Thoroughly sweet, comfortably familiar, and elevated by the chemistry between Nick Offerman and Kiersey Clemons, Hearts Beat Loud offers feel-good father-daughter drama.

Offerman holds it all together with a performance as powerful as it is quiet.

Anyone who's written a song knows how much heart is poured across the sheet; Hearts Beat Loud actualizes that "overflowing of spontaneous emotion."

3/5

Hearts Beat Loud is a light, enjoyable film that washes over you - though perhaps doesn't linger in the mind long after the credits roll.

I cannot recommend Hearts Beat Loud enough. While the screenplay lacks exposition, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have nuance. There are many layers to these characters that come about in ways that are somewhat unexpected.

The music is wonderful, and I was upset its title song was not on the Oscar shortlist.

Boring and predictable to say the least. It is hard to believe this is the best Hollywood can come up with in today's world. These Hallmark Style films are killing the industry.

It may come across as a light-hearted movie… unless you’re a father, especially a single father. The daughter-dad relationship that Nick Offerman’s character manages to pull off is one that many of us can only dream off. It’s a lesson in deep-love parenting and sacrifice, while remaining upbeat and true to your heart and your passion. Makes the top 10 of movies to watch when you’re having a bad day as a father.

You need to like or at least relate to characters in the movie - did not happen for me. Music was dull uninspired & just droned on - nothing for me here.

It's a loaded cost and a great yarn. Offerman continues to amaze for his range. As a craftsman I appreciate his woodworking skill but to see that added to all the things he can do in entertainment is mind boggling. A true renaissance man.
