Heavy Trip

A Finnish ensemble comedy about a wannabe black metal band, is probably the only film you'll see this year with a crowd-surfing corpse. Don't let the last part of that sentence dissuade you from seeing Heavy Trip: it's a real crowdpleaser.

In their feature debut, co-writers/directors Juuso Laatio and Jukka Vidgren and co-writers Aleksi Puranen and Jari Olavi Rantala reach for absurdist comedy — the reindeer-blood accident, the projectile-vomit bit, the grave-robbing incident — with a touch so light that the general nuttiness comes to seem a central (and essential) component of Finnish rural life.

While the film’s attempts at slapstick can be painful — in a cringing way, not in a brutal way — Heavy Trip does succeed in creating perhaps the most charming ensemble of morbid dorks since "What We Do In The Shadows."

Heavy Trip is an absurdist, powerhouse folly, which feels spunky enough to honor the musical genre and comes filled with deadpan hilarity to please comedy addicts.

Playing like a Nordic “This is Spinal Tap,” the Finnish import Heavy Trip, a satire about an aspiring heavy metal band’s efforts to land its first legitimate gig, proves as affably goofy as its characters.

It's no "Metalocalypse" (pretty much the only metal comedy to completely break the rules), and there are no new classic anthems here, but if you want to bang your head to a very familiar beat, Heavy Trip is a solid cover version.

Its story distances heavy metal from any whiff of toxic masculinity by setting Turo and company against homophobes and rakes.

This was insane absolutely love it. This is funny original entertaining. It was genius idea to make movie about metal band especially for metalheads

This movie has reignited my love of film and how to spend a couple of hours with interesting storytelling. It had such great heart and I loved the performances. I loved the setting and how everyone really fit their character. I was really blown away at the places it took me emotionally as well as how silly it was. While somewhat grounded it borders on the absurd in a playful way. I laughed so hard at a scene that takes place in a zoo that now those images are were I’m going to go when I’m down. If you’re into music, have ever been in a band or just want to check out something familiar and at the same time somewhat foreign this was fun.

Entretenida, original, tiene un giro de tuerca muy triste, algunos buenos chistes, muy interesante ver como son esas tierras.
