I caught this film at the SENE Film Festival in Providence this weekend. It won Best Film and Best Score at the festival. It's about a college professor who loses his wife and can't quite get past his depression. He finds his way back into the world through the music of this down- on-her-luck rock singer. The movie documents his healing process through their unfolding friendship. There are some truly lovely and deeply moving scenes, and everyone in the audience I saw this with was quietly sniffling by the end of the movie.

I thought it was a great film, small and intimate and spirited and heartwarming. The two lead actors were very good – the lead actress, Kate Tucker, is a singer and songwriter from Nashville, and according to the director (in his Q&A after the movie) she was a first-time actress. You wouldn't know it from this performance, she was very good. Just a magnetic on screen presence. The director said that the male lead was a professor of acting at a university in Canada. He too was excellent – very tortured and sympathetic. His character goes through the ringer in this movie.

The film was a musical, but a very untraditional musical. It had live music, non-live music video-like sequences, and the use of songs in place of a traditional score. All of the songs, by Kate Tucker, forwarded the movie's storyline. To be honest, I've never seen a musical quite like it. The ways the film used music were quite original and unique. The closest thing I could relate it to would be the Irish film "Once" which was out a few years ago. If you liked that movie, it's safe to say you'll like this one too. Like that film, it has some low-budget, rough production values, but they just add to the real-ness of the storyline and the intimacy of the movie.

This film is definitely worth seeing if it plays near you.

This film just appeared on Prime Video for me to watch.

With such a high IMDB rating I decided to check it out.

Very low budget film. Could hardly hear the lyrics of her (acted by Kate Tucker) songs.

I would not rate her singing as very high at all.

This appears to be a promo only for her music.

Both actors (Kate Tucker and Noah Drew) have not done many films. This is not surprising after what I saw.

I am only the second reviewer who wrote a review for this film that was a 2013 film, and it is 2022!

The weighted mean of the 25 reviewers who rated only, is 6.1.

So where did the 7.2 rating come from??????

IMDB is better at calculating the ratings. What is occurring here with this?
