Hearts Beat Loud
A father and daughter celebrate the final days before she departs for college in director Brett Haley's tender-hearted musical drama. Widower Frank Fisher (Nick Offerman) has run the independent Red Hook Records shop in a neighbourhood of Brooklyn for 17 years. The store is a quirky relic of a bygone age but Frank's nostalgic landlord Leslie (Toni Collette) is fond of Frank and she has neglected to raise the rent in line with other properties in the rapidly gentrified area. Eventually, Leslie is forced to sell and Frank sombrely prepares to close the doors to his shop. He seeks comfort in music sessions with his daughter Sam (Kiersey Clemons), who will be heading to college in the autumn. These recordings remind Frank of his time in a band with his late wife and he proudly uploads one of the sessions with his daughter. When the song gains traction, Frank boldly suggests that Sam might want to delay her plans for further education to remain in Red Hook. Meanwhile, the daughter enjoys a burgeoning romance with a girl called Rose (Sasha Lane), who lives in the neighbourhood.
