Trailer for Coming of Age Indie Music Rom-Com MILE END KICKS Starring Barbie Ferreira
A trailer has been released for the coming of age indie music romantic comedy, Mile End Kicks, starring Barbie Ferreira, Devon Bostick, Stanley Simons, Juliette Gariépy, and Jay Baruchel.
The movie is written and directed by Chandler Levack (I Like Movies, My Dead Mom) in her second feature.
The synopsis reads: "Levack's widely anticipated follow-up to her [first film], I Like Movies, stars Barbie Ferreira as a young music critic writing for a male-centric indie publication who takes a leap into adulthood, even though she is little prepared.
“Ferreira shines as Grace Pine, a driven though easily distracted 23-year-old. She leaves her quirky parents' home for an apartment found on Craigslist to devote herself to writing the next great book in the 33 1/3 album exploration series.
“Hers will be on the iconic Alanis Morissette opus Jagged Little Pill. Loft parties introduce Grace to two paramours. Unfortunately, they are members of the same rock band, Bone Patrol. And instead of sequestering herself away to complete her draft, she uses her music industry know-how to get in with the band as their publicist.
“Through wine-fuelled poetry readings and other ill-advised choices, Grace is in the trenches of self-discovery. Mistakes are made and rent is owed but, along the way Mile End Kicks gives audiences a new romantic comedy to fall in love with."
Mile End Kicks first debuted at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival, and I think it looks pretty fun. Check out the trailer below, and watch the film when it’s released in select US theatres on April 17th.
