The "Refreshment Channel", consisting of Shaked Ferrara, Asthma de Loco and Lidoy, were the most successful pop band in Israel, until their unfortunate statement against the army turned them into enemies of the state overnight. In an attempt to restore their reputation, the three most pampered stars in the country enlist in the PR band - a military band that aims to increase the IDF's popularity, under the command of Sharona (Rotem Sela) and Yirmi (Eran Zarhovich). When they are away from home, the fans and their favorite hookah, old tensions pop up and threaten to break up the band. For the first time since they met at age 4 in the Red Bull kindergarten, the three split up. Will they find themselves or each other? Will they choose true friendships or the spotlight? All the answers in "Rising to the Top," the ripping movie of the summer in theaters!
Reviews
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
