Rachel is a rambunctious girl from a polygamist colony in southern Utah. On Rachel’s 15th birthday, she finds a forbidden cassette tape. Having never seen anything like it before, Rachel plays the cassette tape, and finds glorious rock & roll thereupon. Weeks later, Rachel realizes a miracle has occurred - and the cassette tape must have something to do with it. She leaves her family and runs away to the closest city: Las Vegas. There she searches for the singer of the band on the cassette tape.

Electrick Children was a very entertaining movie with a great cast. This story line was very creative. The movie was very symbolic. Although at some points within the movie, it was a bit hard to follow. My favorite part of the movie was when the mother had a connection with Rachel as she gave her the keys to the car late at night.

Electrick Children was an awesome movie....or could have been if the story had some work on it. Rory Culkin and Julia Garner are the reason why this movie was saved. The bright innocent eyed Rachel (Julia Garner) shows us the true meaning of innocence while Clyde (Rorry Culkin) takes her and her brother for a ride of their lives. Rebecca Thomas (Director/Writer) had an amazing story on her hands if only she knew how to end it without so many plot holes in her film. I give this a 7/10 because it wasn't a BAD film, I just wished that it was worked on a little bit more before releasing the film. Maybe then people might be able to appreciate the film a little bit better and hopefully more people will recognize the potential that this film could of had.

I am a huge fan of indie films. When I came across this the other night I added it to my netflix list to watch. I started watching it last night and couldn't wait to finish it today. This movie's story line is genius. I would have to say that the way the story develops is brilliant. I love the fact that my brain was stimulated the whole time. There were so many levels to this movie, which made it so very intriguing to watch.Now can I just say this... Rory Culkin is sexy in this film. I don't know quite what it is, but I get these weird attractions sometimes. I don't want to get into detail about the movie, but I suggest you watch it. I was hooked. After the movie was over, I was like that was a great movie.<3 Heather May

Apparently rebellious Mormon teenage girl runs away. She's just found out she's pregnant because she was raped but she can't remember the rape though it was no more than a couple months earlier. She's never even seen a tape recorder but she can identify a vintage Mustang in the middle of the night as it drives through what looks like a quiet middle class residential neighborhood.Rock dudes take her and her brother with them indefinitely. They guess she's pregnant because of no logical reason whatsoever and dude says girl's damaged goods because she's pregnant. One rocker dude falls in love with pregnant girl, apparently, and out of nowhere, and says he'll marry her. Then red Mustang drives up to the church to interrupt wedding, which was arranged 2 seconds earlier. And long-gone dad just what, gives the happy couple his Mustang.What a strangled attempt at creating an epic, tried just too hard guys. This movie seems like an attempt to make an indie/hipster epic but it failed. What a desperate attempt at being oh-so- rebellious. Let's see, uhm, a little too weak.
