Mighty Oak is a 2020 American comedy-drama musical film directed by Sean McNamara.
A young guitarist, reminiscent of a late vocalist, joins a musical band which leads to theories of reincarnation.
Most of the film was shot in Ocean Beach [1] [2] and other parts of San Diego. [3] [4]
On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 55% based on 20 reviews and an average rating of 6/10. [5]
Philip Martin of Arkansas Democrat-Gazette gave it an 80 out of 100, stating "It's sunny and wistful; something to go see if that's what you need right now." [6]
Nick Allen at RogerEbert.com scored it a 1.5 out of 4 and said "This premise would excel far better, and go much deeper with its targeted themes, in something like a dark comedy; that Mighty Oak embraces this delusion with no sarcasm and a lot of wish fulfillment is at the very least worrisome." [7] [8]
