Split by Class, United by Brass - The Marching Band review by griggs
The Marching Band is a gentle, low-stakes comedy about two brothers from opposite ends of the social spectrum who bond over a shared love of music. One’s all polish and precision; the other’s scrappy but spirited. They’re playing different tunes, but the passion’s the same. The film doesn’t do anything radical but hits the right notes with sincerity and charm. Pierre Lottin and Benjamin Lavernhe have great comic chemistry—awkward, antagonistic, and oddly touching. It’s pretty predictable and a bit too neat at times, but still easy to enjoy. You won’t be humming it for days, but it’s a pleasant enough tune while it lasts.
