Hearts Beat Loud is a 2018 American dramedy film directed by Brett Haley (who co-wrote the screenplay with Marc Basch) and starring Nick Offerman and Kiersey Clemons.Widower Frank Fisher (Offerman) is a former musician and the owner of the failing Brooklyn music shop Red Hook Records, which is nearing its final days of staying open. Not only that, his daughter Sam (Clemons) has graduated from high school and is planning to move to the West Coast to start school for pre-med. Frank, who's reluctant to let Sam go, talks her into recording a song she wrote called "Hearts Beat Loud" during a jam session. Unbeknownst to Sam, he takes the song and uploads it to Spotify, where it soon becomes a viral hit. Frank wants to start a band with Sam, but her goals are elsewhere, and he's forced to come to terms with embracing change and letting go.The film also stars Ted Danson, Sasha Lane, Blythe Danner and Toni Collette. The music score was composed by Keegan DeWitt.

Instant Web Hit: Frank and Sam's song "Hearts Beat Loud" was this after Frank uploaded to Spotify. A music representative actually offers them representation, but Sam has her heart set out on pre-med school.

Actor Allusion: Ted Danson playing a bartender with some substance issues could just be a coincidence, but having two characters toast with the word Cheers while he's standing in the background would seem to say it's not.

comment
Unresolved Sexual Tension: At first Leslie, Frank's landlady, seems like a Nice Gal by not raising rent on Frank's music shop and maintaining a friendly relationship with him. As the movie goes on, it becomes clearer that she's attracted to Frank and even gives him a drunken kiss (which she apologizes for), but she also has a boyfriend. Frank is not pleased with having his feelings played with.

comment
Wacky Parent, Serious Child: Once "Hearts Beat Loud" gets popular, Frank goes all in about starting an actual band with Sam but Sam repeatedly declines due to her future plans and even chastises Frank for not thinking clearly about their chances of making it. It's indicated throughout the film that Sam is the responsible one and acts far more like the adult while he's relatively a Manchild in comparison with her.

Manchild
 Hearts Beat Loud / int_e150c4c7
comment
Manchild: Frank, to an extent. Sam is shown to be the more responsible one several times, despite being younger. Frank is stuck in the past and trying to live out his band dreams, and is resistant to the upcoming changes about to come in his life. It's justified as this stems from his wife suddenly dying in a bicycle accident. Frank tells Leslie he copes partly by strongly bonding with his daughter Sam since this happened when she was little, and they played like kids together. Then eventually she outgrew him, and Frank was left behind to a degree.

But Not Too Black: Sam is a biracial girl with a white father and (deceased) black mother. Her girlfriend Rose is the only other black person in the film, who's even lighter than her. Both actresses are biracial.

comment
The Lost Lenore: Sam's mom and Frank's wife Danielle is long dead when the film takes place, but her presence looms over them both. Because of her death in a bike accident, Sam has not learned to ride a bicycle despite being in her 20s. She only does with the help of her girlfriend Rose. Frank's life meanwhile is implied to have heavily been mired in the past, brooding over his loss for years. He wrote a song in tribute to her as well, and is shown reflecting nostalgically over them singing together years ago.
