Band Aid Reviews
Zoe Lister-Jones successfully navigates a difficult tone, making a heartfelt, musically-driven romantic dramedy, that doesn't exist in either drama or comedy for too long.
| Original Score: B+ | Nov 5, 2021
Lister-Jones injects her characters with refreshing energy and realism. No behavior is out of place, no conclusion strained.
| Original Score: 4/5 | May 10, 2021
There are plenty of adorable laughs, heartfelt moments, and the emergence of an absolute superstar, making Band Aid one of the pleasant surprises of 2017.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 15, 2021
It's heartfelt and never unkind, a triumph of exploring conflict with the ones you love most.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 24, 2020
The crux of the film is simple and the film's emotional core is driven by Anna.
| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 2, 2020
The use of music and the special on screen dynamic between Lister-Jones and Pally really make this one to seek out.
| Original Score: B+ | Jul 13, 2020
Band Aid works best when things stay serious. Pally and Lister-Jones are actually quite good when they allow the drama to take over, and they're especially strong when pouring out their hearts within the context of some really great songs.

First-time filmmaker Lister-Jones does a superb job of effectively establishing the two central characters and their less-than-healthy bond...
| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 8, 2019
This is Lister-Jones' directorial debut and she's also written the script. It's all handled with her steady hand.

Band Aid is the type of movie that makes you feel less alone in this crazy world. It's raw, it's real, and it makes for a hell of a good time.

It's just an uncomfortable, unpleasant experience to watch people fight and be horrible to each other for 2 hours.
| Original Score: C- | Mar 12, 2019
It'll put a smile on your face and provide an urge to write songs to revitalise your failing relationship. Or to get laid. Either way, watch it.
| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Dec 20, 2018
For a film that beautifully illustrates how one can find the music in their every day lives, "Band Aid" doesn't miss a beat, but it'll make your heart skip one.

If you've ever had relationship troubles or if you've ever been in a band (or both), there are a number of things to identify with in this profoundly earnest film.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 31, 2018
The film tackles some heavy subject matter and does so in a way that rings true. Emotionally raw while being fun at the same time, Band Aid is a lovely film that explores marital problems in an original way.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 22, 2018
This winning indie comedy-drama splits those two genres as neatly as an atom but gets the most energy out of the comedy side.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Jan 16, 2018
Band Aid pokes some fun at Los Angeles, today's obsessive parenting and how every ordinary aspect of life now seems like competitive performance.

Zoe Lister-Jones' debut feature is a success on all fronts that examines deeper intricacies of failing relationships with hard-hitting genuineness and authenticity
