Concerto for Abigail

Okay. I'll admit it. I have a crush on Andrea Bogart so I just had to watch this movie. I was definitely not disappointed. She glows and between she and now my new favorite Monica Young, I loved them both. It's a wonderful story and much more engaging than I expected. My heart went out to Samantha. To be a musician and face deafness is hard to imagine. Monica nailed it in showing us how angry and sad she is. Then comes Abigail who brings love and support. I really loved this film and will watch it many times. Not just to see the ladies, but to also be reminded about the wonderful story and the message.

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.

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 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.

I could go on and on about this wonderful and gently told story but I want to tell you all that you will love every character in this movie. The lead actresses are beautiful and perfect as Samantha and Abigail. I thought the woman who played Dr. Christopher was excellent. Again very believable in every way. The actor who plays Jack the Empire Club manager is cast well. From his love and caring of Samantha to his sort of believable relationship with Samantha's manager, John Hale stood out. I don't know if the trio is real musicians or not, but I believed them too. Much has been said about the score. I agree with everyone. It's spectacular. One of the best movies I've seen in a long time.
