Overview
A musician who has lost her faith in her art and a disillusioned lawyer who has lost his sense of self are thrown together, reigniting their creative passion and offering them the chance of a new future.
How is it that a movie that is as lovely as this can’t be seen by the masses? I came across this movie by pure luck. As with so many other great indie movies that I’ve seen (An Audience of Chairs and The Passing Parade come mind), there were few reviews on the movie. But those reviews were glowing, and I added to them.
I had such an amazing experience watching this movie. One of the reviews that I saw compared it to Once and that instantly made me skeptical. But as the movie went on I could see the comparison but not in the ways that you might think. Sure, there are some similarities in themes – the beauty of art, the plight of the struggling artist, etc. The thing that reminded me of Once was that the main characters were so bare in front of us. I felt for them and cared for them and wanted better for them. There were so many other feelings and thoughts that I had while watching this movie… I didn’t write them down. Early in the movie I made the decision to go along with the ride and to let the movie wash over me.
