Part love letter to critically endangered indie record shops, part homage to LA, and part a character study of folks you don't know but probably should, there's plenty here to like, with quality photography and deft direction.
Plot summary
What do you do when you love music, and music doesn't love you back? It's a question that haunts Walt (Jim Tavaré),the owner of Essential Music, an indie record store in the heart of Silver Lake. Walt's all too aware of how his punk-rock glory days are fast fading in the rear-view - even as he can't help recounting war stories to his much younger employees: Lysette (Kate Dalton),who has to contend with a parade of customers convinced she's the Record Store Girl of their dreams; Chris (Derek James Elstro),the lead singer of Troubled Meats, a band poised for takeoff, and maybe not just in Chris' mind; and well-meaning music nut Duane (Adam Weber),who's a little too fluent in Rock Critic for his own good. With a love of all types of music evident in every shot, WARMED-OVER KRAUTROCK is a comedy for anyone who's ever spent too much time obsessing over playlists - and for anyone who's ever been driven crazy by that type of person, too.

A delightful indie film!
Warmed-Over Krautrock is a delightful, warm and personal indie film. The dialogue is smart and topical, the cast of characters share great chemistry and the cinematography shows off parts of Los Angeles you don't often get to see on film. It's a great movie for anyone who loves music, the record store scene, and slice-of-life stories.

Terrible, stiff, amateur, flat unconvncing, dervative, dull
An attempt at High Fidelity put on by a community theatre company. This comes across like they filmed the rough draft script read through before the writers made put any content in it, or before they hired a writer. Just terrible. Unwatchable. 2 points for the camera and sound team capturing an image and dialog. zero for anything else
