02
The Greasy Strangler
Why this pick
Its deliberately artificial, candy-coloured musical oddness and deadpan humour share God Help the Girl’s willingness to make emotional awkwardness feel stylised and strange.
03
Frank
Why this pick
Another offbeat British-Irish music story where an inexperienced songwriter is drawn into a fiercely idiosyncratic band; tender insecurity sits beside eccentric comic invention.
04
Rye Lane
Why this pick
Its bright visual playfulness, quick romantic rapport and compassionate attention to post-breakup insecurity echo the buoyant yet vulnerable spirit of God Help the Girl.
05
Hearts Beat Loud
Why this pick
A modest, warm pop-infused story about making music with someone close, balancing catchy songwriting with the bittersweet pressure of deciding what comes next.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Eve is a catastrophe; low on self-esteem but high on fantasy, especially when it comes to music. When she meets two kindred spirits in posh Cass and fastidious James, they decide there's only one thing to do: form a pop group.
