[The film's] moments of the girls enjoying their friendship have an appealing freshness that almost matches the quality of the bangers on the soundtrack.

Rated: 3/4

Valerie Weiss' very-young-adult dramedy is... a (deep) cut above the usual tween fare.

Ultimately, the heartfelt Mixtape isn't only about remembering the past and taking something from it. It's about making new friends and memories, too.

Rated: 9/10

With a great lead performance from young Gemma Brooke Allen, Mixtape finds its heartwarming message in notes of fun nostalgia and some post-punk volume.

I realize there's a target audience for such a sweet family tale, but I'm not in that target range.

it explores modern kids who are interested in old rock music,(which I am) and does a pretty good job telling there stories. If you watch it, you might love it, you might hate it

Fantastic coming of age film. Beautiful happy sad moments throughout and it got my daughter to listen to some older music which was a great bonus.

"Mix Tape" is a feel-good story set in 1999, when 12-year-old Beverly (Gemma Brooke Allen) who lives with her grandmother Gail (Julie Bowen) after her parents died in a car crash, one day finds a mixtape from her parents and begins a journey to discover more about them. Her journey of discovery is quite joyful and there is a lovely nostalgia to her relationship with her best friends and the era in which it is set, millennium bug fear and all.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Cheesy rubbish. Shallow characters, predictable plot which turns out exactly as predicted. A boring way to spend an hour and a half.

There are many things to love about this movie: Very good acting, intelligent writing, endearing characters, lovely cinematography and a few laugh out loud moments. What struck me the most was how honestly it dealt with the complex emotions people can feel at any age, and sent a message of hope without sugar-coating the dark. A perfect, bittersweet little film.
