What do you do when your life goes off course? Well you refocus and you figure things out and that’s just what the film “Becks” is about. The funny but yet refreshing film takes you inside the life of Becks, a talented yet vulnerable musician played by Lena Hall who is packing a guitar and a heart full of jilted love songs that lyrically represent her present state. Becks finds herself without the girlfriend she loves and it leads her to one of life’s crossroads where she must decide should she live in the past or move on in search of trying to find love again.
Daniel Powell and Elizabeth Rohrbaugh directed this twist turning must see gem that shows you that taking self inventory is a process we all must go through. Becks has a stellar ensemble cast such as Mena Suvari who plays the shy & bored housewife who captivates the minute she hits the silver screen. Becks is a film that will leave you wanting more. And trust me I do.
Synopsis:
Following a NYC to LA cross country move that ends in a breakup, singer-songwriter Becks (Lena Hall, a Tony Winner for Hedwig and the Angry Inch) returns to her Midwestern hometown, reluctantly moving back in with her mom. The time-warp sensation of being back in her childhood home is interrupted by an unexpected whirlwind affair with self-proclaimed “lonely housewife” Elyse (tenderly played with exceeding warmth by Mena Suvari) who finds inspired new life through the guitar lessons and generous spirit Becks provides.
