Plot
The film follows the troubled marriage between Anna, who is a writer, and Ben, who is a graphics designer, the film depicts their struggles. Despite the pressure to start a family with friends and relatives, it remains fresh in their minds that Anna recently suffered from a miscarriage. In a flash of inspiration, Anna proposes that they convert their quarrels into songs leading to creative output and self-discovery for both her and Ben. The musical collaboration between them serves as a platform for resolving various issues where higher emotional scars can be unveiled that could damage the relationship entirely.
Star performances
Zoe Lister-Jones gives an outstanding performance as Anna, who is both frustrated and vulnerable at the same time. While portraying a serene but distressed husband, who often hides his worries under charm, Adam Pally is a good match with her character Ben. Fred Armisen acts as their eccentric neighbor and drummer ranking among the funniest characters in this movie; he does add to its uniqueness.
Analysis
The film ‘Band Aid’ is mostly about lovers; loss of hope even though such situations may be very serious at times they still attract humor hence making them memorable. The reason why Smith has chosen this movie is because it is full of both light and dark moments which makes one feel comfortable about watching it even if mile dramas make appearances from time to time. The lyrics in this movie act as background music while telling a story that progresses through these characters’ lives. Nevertheless, there are parts where there are scenes that take too long thus making the pacing feel inappropriate. While its originality remains unquestionable, some parts mirror typical independent films reducing its ability to achieve its fullest potential.

Fans of indie films will appreciate its charm and the honest portrayal of modern relationships.
