Strong debut. Great dialogue and performances. I found myself quite uncomfortable (in a good way) because the quarrels were very realistic. Heard some of my self in the arguments.

And Fred Armisen should be in more films.

Premiered at Sundance in 2017. Watched the Shout Factory Blu-ray.

A heartfelt, funny, grounded, sweet sweet indie movie about love, women, emotions, and the music that comes out of them. Such a good idea executed perrrrfectly by Zoe Lister-Jones, who pulls quadruple threat duty in this movie (writer, actor, director, producer) without sacrificing her strength on any one. Damn brilliant.

so did the male lead have a peach tattoo before or after he saw call me by your name

they literally wrote a song about papa johns i have never seen a movie and related more in my entire life

failing makes you an artist.

original, relatable, hilarious, and genuine. this was a spontaneous watch but i’m so glad i saw this film. there’s something about expressing yourself creatively, whether that be through writing, films, or song. sometimes it’s easier to sing the words than say them. band aid sums up this feeling beautifully.

Band Aid is the type of movie where you must allow yourself to dig deeper from what you see at its surface.

I've never been a "going at each other's throats" with significant others type, but I found myself rooting for Anna and Ben. Despite their constant fighting, you could see there's love. That's a credit to Zoe Lister-Jones's writing.

The humor works twofold as it also helps reinforce the intimacy of the leads' relationship. We all know this feeling: the way we are quirky and humorous with a SO. I thought it was well portrayed. The same goes with the arguments. They felt genuine.

I always enjoy a good "creative outlet as an aid" story.

An indie comedy about a couple who turn their arguments into songs, Band Aid is a clever and offbeat idea with an execution and tone that never quite connect. I really wanted to like this because Zoe Lister-Jones wrote, directed, and starred, but it kind of just missed me. The story idea is great, and the music and random familiar faces add to the film, but a lot of the improved humor wasn't my humor. So by the time we got to the meatier section of the film, I was mostly uninvested. (read more here)

Surprisingly grounded for a Sundance dramedy about a struggling Los Angeles couple who turn their fights into songs (with the help of a kooky neighbor played by Fred Armisen, of course), “Band Aid” is a thin but knowing portrait of how marriages stretch, sag, and pull back together. It’s a premise that writer, director, producer, star, and lyricist Zoe Lister-Jones knows from first-hand experience, as she and husband Daryl Wein have collaborated on a number of different films together. From scrappy winners like “Breaking Upwards” to undercooked misfires like “Lola Versus,” they’ve never been shy about blurring the line between their personal and professional lives. How ironic that Lister-Jones only finds her voice now that she’s flying solo for the first time.

All the stars for Fred Armisen. I appreciate the behind-the-scenes success of having a crew of all women, but this is poorly, poorly written. Every featured fight is like one you overhear while shopping at the mall. That doesn't make it any less real, just way less interesting.

hmmmmmmm i just love movies directed by women about women in complicated relationships hmmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMmmmmm

zoe lister-jones please start a band with me
