Concerto for Abigail

I watched the film for the story and it's a tender, heart wrenching story. I watched it again for the music. This has the most beautiful score I've heard in a film in a long time. Samantha conveys so much emotion in her expressions and body language. And Abigail does the same as though the two lovers have their own language that they won't share with us. When Samantha says that they are an "us" I feel the bond they are making. The story brought a few tears as Samantha deals with a coming loss. But I believed it all. Many thanks to writer and director Jan Corran for bringing us what will surely be the number one lgbtq film of the year. Oh and it is gorgeous to watch.

Definitely open a bottle of your best champagne. Then curl up on the sofa or your cushy bed with someone you love. This is one film that just may make you fall in love all over again. I know I did. Monica Young and Andrea Bogart are superb actresses. I believed in them as a couple and was only sorry that there wasn't a longer movie so I could watch them interact more. I was especially moved by the lighting used in different scenes. The bedroom one was luscious. Both women couldn't have looked more beautiful. The scene in the end is amazing. The music is powerful and the look on Samantha's face is priceless. Thank you for making this beautiful movie.

I have found my new favorite film couple. Monica Young and Andrea Bogart lovingly bring Samantha and Abigail to life. Both actresses make their characters real and beautiful. The story is sad in the beginning but ends on a note of hope. The music is gorgeous. I watched a couple times for the couple but also to hear the music. Finding out that it was Young who wrote and sings a song in the film was an added treat. The entire cast is terrific. I also loved the cinematography. Some magical moments were displayed and the lighting on a couple of them was romantic and sexy. One of the best lesbian films I've ever seen.

As a person who began going deaf in my teens, I was curious to see how someone who isn't deaf could write about it. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the writer, the director and the actor who played Samantha seemed to understand hearing loss very well. Samantha does show us what it feels like but specifically how a person feels. I could relate. Abigail is the perfect fan to come into Sam's life. Both actresses are lovely to look at and truly believable as lovers. Abigail brings hope and joy into Samanth'as world as it begins to spiral downward. This is a hopeful movie with a good story. I hardly heard he music, but turned up loudly, it was a beautiful concerto. Really enjoyed this movie.

I can't imagine what it would be to lose my hearing, but for a musician it must be the worst. Monica Young brilliantly lets us into her world as her hearing is disappearing. The acting of Young and her companion actress Andrea Bogart are very believable. The way they look at each other gaze me goose bumps. I mean its hard to see desire in a face but it sure is there. In the end I felt that they were a real couple. Other people in the movie were also excellent. Jetta Martin as the spurned former lover of Abigail was terrific. I loved the "talk" manager hard with Samantha. Made me think a lot about how people accept loss. I hope everyone sees this beautiful movie.
