To me, this movie is perfection.
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
The film is a sensitive, beautiful, dreamy and colourful look at teenage identity, sad at times, funny at other times. I laughed at one of the poems. It features good music - a grunge mixed ethereal sound and the young actors were believable. Overall it's a good debut and impressive talent.
Spaceship is a hidden gem of a film - a lyrical, semi-improvised film about cos-playing teens lost in a sea of angst and self-obsession. However, the film manages to avoid any sense of patronising the teenage experience or of indulging nostalgia in what it's like to be young. Like early Greg Araki, the film feels not just about teens but *by* teens, with a visual flair and a voice that feels authentic and sympathetic. The film captures beautifully the feeling of being simultaneously stuck where you've always been while also feeling so lost you might never be found. The visuals and music are superb and the young cast deliver understated, powerful performances. It's an unusual film for some, but it serves an audience that mainstream cinema can't reach.
A refreshing take on youth-hood in modern Britain which pictures human as they are without any prejudice. A humble rock song in the shape of a movie which can entertain a mass open-minded crowd without too much screaming or shouting! In my opinion the art of film making is about storytelling. Well, Alex Taylor has mastered the story of 21st century human onboard of our crazy spaceship. The Spaceship is like me and you;sometimes charming, sometimes cruel but everyone are welcome onboard. Life is too short but the teenagers' life seems to go on forever on the Spaceship moving from past to the future. Welcome onboard people.
Went to see Alex Taylor's debut feature "Spaceship" in Brixton as part of the festival in early October 2016, and a phenomenal afternoon it turned out to be, indeed. Sadly, had to leave before the Q&A session after the end of the screening. Everybody in the auditorium looked well up for it!
