No Alternatives has a bit of everything. It is a coming of age drama set in the 90s surrounding Grunge culture. It's dark and complex but has its humorous moments as well. The cast does a fantastic job and the film is well directed. As someone that was born in the 90s I can't speak to how realistic the film was in terms of 90s grunge culture, but it seemed well done to me.
The movie follows teen siblings, Thomas and Bridget, and their escape through music. Thomas is driven to start a grunge band, while Bridget finds herself in rapper persona "Bri Da B." No Alternatives deals with heavy themes such mental illness and addiction. I think the movie does a good job highlighting how differently mental illness was handled in the 90s vs today.
No Alternatives is a highly captivating movie that has stayed with me in the days since I have watched it. I recommend giving it a view.
