Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times 10/20/2016
Michael Mueller's character-driven script is about the only thing that feels driven in this otherwise listless vehicle, and "The Beat Beneath My Feet" conveys all the pulse-pounding energy of a funeral procession. Go to Full Review
David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter 10/18/2016
Music is very definitely an essential part of [director Williams'] storytelling toolbox, which gives the movie energy even when it lacks finesse. Go to Full Review
Leslie Felperin Guardian 06/14/2015
It would be easier to forgive the corny, sub-Grange Hill cliches in writer-director John Williams's script if the actual music, on whose excellence the whole thing depends, was credibly catchy and not derivative tosh. Go to Full Review
Brian Viner Daily Mail (UK) 10/18/2016
4/5
This film is for anyone who has ever played air guitar in the privacy of their bedroom. Or maybe, like me, you used a tennis racket. Either way, it's about the nurture and realisation of an improbable dream, and it's very nicely done. Go to Full Review
Jo-Ann Titmarsh HeyUGuys 10/18/2016
The Beat Beneath My Feet offers a fond reminder of why we all loved Luke and introduces a bright young talent in its lead. Go to Full Review

Shelby B 01/12/2024 This is effectively one of the stupidest things I've ever watched and I love it so damn much. I don't know why either. Don't watch it it sucks so bad, and I love so much. See more Ashley H 10/30/2023 This being one of the first movies Nicholas Galitzine has ever done, is really amazing. He can sing, play the guitar and act! The fact that they made every song scene look like a music video was very pretty. See more Markus A 10/14/2023 It's a great movie mixed with both comedy and angst, Tom is such a complex character and I can't help to see myself in him (that's both good and bad) it has a mix of romance in there but it still feels like she's her own character and don't even get me started on the singing. See more isla s 09/03/2022 This is quite a fun, escapist watch. It's cheesy but it's fun - I enjoyed the various pieces of guitar based music played throughout and the central idea of a teenage kid finding out they live near a famous rock and roll star (never mind his backstory of being supposedly dead) is a fun and exciting one. It's not entirely original I suppose but its fun and I enjoyed watching it, hence my rating. Yes, I'd recommend this, if it sounds of interest. See more 08/19/2017 Anyone who is into music will love this movie original songs and a relatable subject , so anyone like myself who loves music will enjoy this movie See more 12/13/2016 Music and teenage angst combined, and it's a fairly good story, but devoid of pace in parts.
