As the name suggests, Modern Life Is Rubbish romanticizes analog relationships — and is meant for anyone who does the same.

Britpop is a musical genre I had neutral feelings toward before sitting through Modern Life Is Rubbish, a uselessly nostalgic movie named after Blur’s 1993 album. After it, I wondered whether I had been too generous.

For those who delight in candy-coated nostalgia, writer Philip Gawthorne’s familiar, cliché-heavy script offers a twee jaunt down memory lane. For everyone else, even a killer Britpop soundtrack teamed with the leads’ palpable chemistry can’t save the film from overtrodden territory.

It is full of the signifiers of musical devotion but lacks the hummably acerbic insight of the best music it namechecks.
