Underplayed (2020)
2/10
a po-faced and BORING documentary
27 June 2023
Both, the EDM DJs and the punters have always been freaks and nerds (not meant as an insult), just like me. Most successful djs have been gay, eg. Larry Levan, Danny Tenaglia, Frankie Knuckles etc. So to say that gays and gals were under-represented is just not so.

True, not too many women, but the ones that were, were either good and or forgettable, just like their male counterparts.

But this po-faced and BORING documentary wants us to believe that women in EDM have been under valued. Well i was in the seen during late 80's and through the 90's and i never saw any of this happen. On the contrary, in the smaller clubs women have been favored, for i don't know what reason. Certainly not because they were better djs.

Plus when i was spinning records, i can hardly remember any women coming up to the booth to check out how things are done. It was mainly guys.

I've wasted to much time on this review already, but this doc rubbed me in all the wrong ways.

Thank you.

Get a Life
14 March 2021
I see a lot 1s, 2s, 3s and 4s here. personally, i think that in order to give a film 1 point it has to be unwatchable, since there is no "zero". you can't say you like the "photography", the "atmosphere" or whatever a film gives you, and then turn around and give it 1, 2 or even 3 points. i just think most of the voting here is malicious, at least. this film was lovingly made by people who cared deeply about something. and i think it was, at least, an above average film. too bad that in this day and age, people just try to tear down anything they don't understand. if you don't like these kinds of films, why buy the ticket? next time just watch t.v., or a Michael Man "movie". but most of all, Get a Life. thank you and goodnight.
