THE INDEPENDENTS is a musical comedy/drama about three solo-artists who collide at the same crossroads and discover harmony. Thus is born "RGB" (at least until they come up with a better band name) and what follows is their roller-coaster-ride journey across America for a one last shot at musical glory.

Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Feb 27, 2021
"The Independents" is a wisp of a movie, generally likable but largely insubstantial. But when Price, Naughton and Chartrand start to play? The film becomes a warm and welcoming celebration of music for music's sake. Go to Full Review
Stephen Farber The Hollywood Reporter Feb 9, 2018
The songs are smoothly integrated into the story, but the film's main virtue is the warmth it shows toward the three main characters and their sometimes desperate dreams. Go to Full Review

The uplifting movie we all need right now. Let yourself be carried away by the music that will make you get up off your couch with a smile, ready to believe in the goodness of people again. Just don't look too closely at the craft elements. Go to Full Review

7.5/10
While the full-blown comedic moments do not work, The Independents is an engaging movie with a strong cast and absolutely amazing songs. Go to Full Review
Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Mar 5, 2021
The Independents is pleasant and innocuous, making fun of overnight-success conventions while at the same time not straying very far from them. Go to Full Review
