This movie tells no one story but paints a 24-hours tableau of a punk rock festival, from preparations onwards until the hangover after, from dozens of different perspectives, including underaged fans lacking fake IDs to get in, successful and success-less musicians, their managers, producers, roadies, groupies and lovers, with a focus on the generation of the musicians themselves, mostly 30-somethings refusing to grow up while at the same time losing grip on their own youth, and starting to question whether they're on the right track - but then also whether living a secure life in the corporate world would be any better than trying to make ends meet while creating, and/or partying like there's no tomorrow. During the course of that day, much happens including new love and love lost, goals fulfilled and dreams shattered, big promises and rude awakenings - and of course, there's some music, too ...

 

Now if you're a fan of strictly narrative features, then this one's not for you, as I'll Be Around is much more based on train of thought than any rigid structure, with many of the multiple subplots intentionally not leading to a satisfying conclusion. However, the film does just great in portraying the collective mindset of its generation, shown in philosophical discussions, yet even more so in heated arguments, weird ramblings, scenes of comedy as well as drama, woven together in an associative manner that only by the by reveals the common denominator of all its stories, holding them together in a very enjoyable way - if you're up to diving into the film's slightly experimental journey that is.
