Lizzy McAlpine - five seconds flat, the film

brought me to tears many different times. seriously some of these songs have moved me through intense times of falling in and out of love and this film just brought it all together. thank you for your art ❤️

this is a cinematic masterpiece honestly. not only is the music beautiful, but it’s so aesthetic and amazing.

CEILINGS DESERVED MORE TIME
but in all honesty it's still a masterpiece even with a sliver of the song

THIS IS THE COOLEST ALBUM RELEASE I'VE EVER SEEN/HEARD
You are INCREDIBLE, Lizzy!
I'm so glad I found your music !

The way the shots from the other songs come back in 'hate to be lame' felt practically euphoric. I'm so blown away.

erase me has quickly become one of my favorite songs!! hope to see more collaborations between lizzy and jacob some day

"but I don't love you like that"
"because I love you like that"
"I'm a careful driver"
"I'm a wreck less driver"
"And I tell you all the time to keep your eyes on the road"
This part musically is SO beautifully coordinated. The first version is joking about a very serious issue, like ignoring a red flag passed off as humor, and then the 2nd time through you realize it's actually a huge deal and is connected to a core problem in the relationship. The way the minor to major to minor chord flows through the call/response is just breathtaking. Literally breathtaking. God I just feel so many things, and then the next song is SUCH a juxtaposition of emotions. I've already made a whole comment on that video about it but god I just wish I could say this straight to Lizzy so she knows how amazing an artist she is.

the amount of realizations i had while watching this, i mean holy shit. it all makes sense now, the lyrics, the visuals, the emotions. wow

the color grading, the framing, the warm visuals, film grain, music, and narrative... everything about this is beyond amazing, Lizzy. Congrats to you and the entire production team.

Those might be the most beautiful camera shots I've seen in a while. They are indeed magical. The Colorgrading, Format, Lenses and actors are so good.
And of course the music is extremly powerful too. I really was hyped for the album and didn't get disappointed.
Got in the boat since "erase me" which really fitted my own emotions the time as it came out. I think there is a special warmth in these songs that I really like.
Thank you for that beautiful experience!

this is the first time i've seen a singer who connected all her songs in an album with a short movie. a singer, a storyteller. that level of creativity. amazing. and lol i cannot jacob collier imagine being a cashier in a konbini. he's too busy creating new complex chord progressions and exploring new instruments.

holy crap the amount of effort and time put into this is insane. this is so beautiful Lizzy! so proud of the wonderful musician you've become

I'm going to be in class when this comes out but I think I can watch it at lunch so Lizzy thank you for giving me something positive to associate chicken nuggets with

It's hardly an understatement to say that this film has completely recontextualised the album for me. I had already fallen in love with all the tracks, don't get me wrong, but this planted a deep-rooted nostalgia in me that I've never felt before, despite it being so new. I truly believe my life is better thanks to this and I can't wait to see what Lizzy has in store for us next

I was going through a divorce a few months ago. It wasn’t mutual and I felt really lost. I was recommended this project and this has been my catharsis/medicine since.
Music is so powerful. This album is so powerful. It masterfully moves through grief without sinking into melodrama. It made me feel seen and helped me process so much of my emotions.
I’m in therapy now, I’m working on myself, and I feel more free than I’ve ever felt.
It’s so strange how that paradox works.
Thank you for putting it into art.
It’s so comforting.

ITS SO GOOD U GUYS!!! Our acting / theatre kid Lizzy shines thru here 🥹🥰
Shoutout to the screening party folks who have seen this already but cant wait to repeat it non-stop!!! ✌️🙋🏽‍♀️🙌

I love how the film gives you deeper understanding of her songs. It’s all beautiful.

this is gorgeous gus and lizzy. every single scene, beautiful. omg i actually loved how you subtly added some of the songs from the album and had some clear from music videos. I LOVE THE STORY AND HOW YOU PRESENTED IT ITS BEAUTIFUL !!!

Very cool how when you put the songs together in the right order they tell a story.

Lizzy McAlpine you are a FANTASTIC storyteller!!! I am so sorry that someone had to hurt you this badly to make such beautiful art. I will always be a superfan.

This was a lesson of crafted storytelling driven by wonderful music. Kudos, this was beautiful!

I love reckless driving so much, it really encapsulates the feeling of being idealized and how uncomfortable it can make you. I want to write something about this feeling because I feel like this is almost it for me and I want to say it in my own words now. Thanks for always inspiring me Lizzy

Okay wow. As a filmmaker may I just say that to use film to emphasize major musical themes is just so perfect. I loved this.

This is a timeless piece of art. I love this album and how there’s a whole universe around it. The cinematography is beautiful and I will be playing the songs for a long time. Thanks Lizzy for this gift, I can’t believe we get to watch this for free.

the album is golden 😭 had me crying in the staff room at work. so proud of lizzy ❤️

I've watched this 3 times now between the screening party and watching it again today and still can't get over how incredible this is!! Claps to all involved in making this! Well done! One of my favorite parts was during "Hate to Be Lame" when you were mouthing FINNEAS' part through all of the scenes we'd seen previously! It really brought it all together. Can't wait to watch this many more times!

I'm nearing 30 and in a long term healthy relationship where it looks like we're in it for the long haul. I've definitely carried on my ghosts from previous abusive/unhealthy relationships and it's a huge unlearning process... the way this album speaks about self destruction and avoidant attachment and fear of intimacy is just like nothing i've ever heard before. this feels like listening to ben gibbard - hearing about an artist's grief in a way that speaks to what happened to you in the past and is extremely therapeutic. I've also been in therapy for nearly a year now and I don't quite know how to explain it, but being moved by the emotions in this album without completely taking them on as my own (currently) is so cathartic. I was recommended the tiny desk concert earlier today and immediately knew I need to get this on vinyl.

THIS ALBUM IS A CREATIVE MASTERPIECE 🤩WOWOOWOW I AM JUST IN AWE OF HER AS AN ARTIST BC SHE ALWAYS MANAGES TO PULL HEARTSTRINGS AND HER VOICE IS SO GORGEOUS. HER STORYTELLING IS SO TOUCHING. SO POWERFUL!! I GET CHILLSSSS. IT MAKES ME FEEL SO MANY EMOTIONS AT ONCE. SADNESS, EXCITEMENT, FEAR, HAPPINESS, LOVE, LOSS, ANGER AAAAHHH EVERY SONG SHE HAS EVER WRITTEN IS SO MEANINGFUL AND EVERY LYRIC SO BEAUTIFUL. THE AMOUNT OF CARE AND GENIUS DETAIL PUT INTO EVERYTHING IS INSANEEE. SHES SO AMAZING!! LIZZY ILYSMMM AND I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHERE MUSIC TAKES YOU IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE YOU DESERVE THE WORLD!! YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!! I APPRECIATE UR HARD WORK AND DEDICATION TO CREATE SUCH UNIQUE MUSIC. I NOTICE NEW THINGS EVERY TIME I LISTEN AND IT GETS BETTER AND BETTER. I’LL ALWAYS BE A HUGE FAN. I CANNOT PUT INTO WORDS HOW LUCKY I AM TO BE GRACED BY UR AMAZING MUSIC. AND I CANT WAIT FOR MORE

I'm crying, this was filmed at my High School. I walked those halls, did sound for all the productions in that auditorium. Now, I get to see Lizzy walk them. Crazy!

Lizzy's whole album is a beautiful masterpiece. Every song evoked such emotion in the rawness form. Beautiful singer with a captivating sultry voice. 10/10 album most definitely ❤

Lizzy you’re so talented it’s actually insane

The amount this has helped me, I have no words and cannot express how grateful I am for this! I would love to see more of this with you and many other singers! You brought something that many cannot and have not! The amount of emotions I felt watching this and how relatable this was is uncanny! I will forever thank you for blessing us all with this amazing art work!❤

OOOH girl. I LOVEEEEE YOUUU and I know this is a bit late and I don’t know if you’ll even see this at this point but I just wanted you to know that you are the BEST. vocalist I have ever heard in my life and you craft beautiful and enchanting melodies that draw the listener in from the start and THAT is why I love you. Oh, I SO wish I had a ticket to your tour for this album. I hope to get a ticket to another tour in the future, but I truly believe that no album of hers (or anyone for that matter) can top the masterpiece that this album is. And please, by all means, take this as a challenge and try to change my mind with your third album, and maybe it’s just my opinion because this album is very much up my alley, but I don’t know. Just know that you are my favorite artist by FAR and have been for a long time and I truly hope to see you continue down this path for a long time. ❤️

I will FOREVER love this girl's music. I'm so excited to see you headline this fall and belt my heart out right alongside you to this amazing album.

this is genuinely one of the greatest films i’ve ever seen & i think abt it daily

Girl this is so legit. The cinematography and color of everything is just so gorgeous and vivid. You and your team did amazing. I love a visual companion to an album.

this album is my favourite thing to ever exist in the actual world ever

I love your music, and you are definitely my favorite artist atm! thank you for your work.

This is very beautiful. Props to both her and the producers. The lyrics are clever and the vocal melodies are catchy of course, but they also have some substance you can bite into. It seems like she put a lot of effort into really making her vocals fit with the song rather than just putting a vocal performance on top that sounds good over the music. I think she's probably going to blow up and I'm actually surprised it's not receiving more traction already.
To me, this album feels like what the album 'Sour' should have been after the hype of everyone hearing 'Drivers License'.
It scratch's an itch that was there but also brings a lot more weight to it all. For me that is. They're both very good and it's not even a criticism. It just filled in that space for me better for something that had some similar theming.
Just wanted to mention that the Production and mix of this record is absolutely stunning and very dynamic as well. I almost thought FINNEAS might have done the production about halfway thru because of some similar choices but upon finishing it all, I'd say this producer makes his own space for himself as well. Although I can't say i'm surprised to see FINNEAS appear on the record or that he's in that circle some how. Haha.

THIS IS A MASTERPIECE! I only just recently discovered Lizzy's music and I AM OBSESSED. Such powerful and intriguing storytelling.

So cool to get to see a great artist ascend to the next level of their career. I'm a new fan, but I can already feel your music and art will have staying power.

late to the party but still a MASTERPIECE 👏👏 Gawd what a journey that was !

Dear Lizzy, I discovered you this year but now I'm an unconditional fan!! This film is clearly a masterspiece I have no words ✨️

this begins at 1:30am where i live and you bet i will be watching every single minute! the album is PHENOMENAL and i cannot wait to see the film

YOU DESERVE RECOGNITION AND APPRECIATION 🥺 YOU'RE SUCH A GREAT WRITER/SINGER ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ugh I love this album so much! This film is amazing, i love the instrumentation and her vocals and lyrics, this film made me love it more.

I’m still so in love with this. The music, the cinematography and aesthetic, the story AHH god it’s magical

This album is incredible. Lizzy, you’ve outdone yourself ❤️

this is absolutely beautiful, it puts a new perspective on the entire album as a whole after first listen. i’m in love this and the whole album, so proud of you lizzy!!

OMGGG THIS IS AMAZING!!! it brought so much clarity to how each song connects! I don't think a lot of other albums' songs are so well connected! Love this~~~ ✨

im not lying when I tell u i cried to every single song and every single art piece. this is phenomenal, so lovely explained and so overwhelmingly realistic. thank you for your art. i am speechless.

The way this all came together is just so incredible. Thank you for gifting us with five seconds flat

This is unbelievable. I wish I had the words to express my love for this project

Absolutely loved this, and also loved seeing Jacob Collier! This is an incredible album and fitting film to accompany it. Keep rocking!!

This deserves so much more attention. Five Seconds Flat has been my favourite album this year and this movie just made it more deserving. I love you Lizzy

The lyrics, tunes, scenes, acting, performance, collaborations. Everything is so on point and beautifully done.

This really just is so good. Glad I found a Lizzy song when I did, cause I get to experience all of this in real time now.

literally just GORGEOUS. visually and sonically breathtaking. so much feels and so much love for this album and this film

What a Masterpiece ! She's clearly the best artist I've discovered these years. She deserves much more celebrity.

i’ve been watching this over and over again it is so well made. the fact each song relates to the next and they all come together so beautifully is so amazing! the music is so beautiful

This is such a beautiful film. Through and through. I felt every section in some capacity. Congratulations to you and the crew who worked on this work of art. You all killed it.

Every time you sing you take me right back to the week I finally stopped hesitating to meet her halfway; being around her, feeling her energy and we both knew we'd met in other lifetimes. I keep wishing I could undo every wrong and I miss her so much.
You seem to know just what to say and I'm grateful for you and your artistry, the way you tear your heart open speaks so loudly to me and I hope you get everything beautiful you deserve in this life Lizzy, thank you 💓

In tears... Lizzie you’re a bloody superstar. This album is so magical ❤️

I laughed, I cried, I reminisced but most of all I had THE TIME OF MY LIFE!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing this masterpiece!!!!!!!
