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.

Concerto for Abigail is one of those movies that you wish would never end. It's a master class on how to fall in love. Attraction to desire to love and deep friendship. Wouldn't we all like to have this? Monica Young and Andrea Bogart are this lovely couple. Beautiful women and beautiful acting jobs. Watching them interact was like magic. Hats off to the cinematographer. It is so well shot and those last scenes are gorgeous. I loved the music. Multi-talented Monica Young wrote and sings the most touching song in the movie. She can do it all folks. OK. I would have liked more kissing and sex, but that's just me. Watch it.

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.

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 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.
