Concerto for Abigail

It's such a joy to find two actresses who are able to convince me that they are a real couple and really falling in love. Not just jumping into bed on the first date. Monica Young is a sparkling jewel. Beautiful to look at and so talented beyond what I expected. She sings and composes and plays the piano as well as acting so well. I love Andrea Bogart as her lover and friend as they come together to face a loss. Not crazy about the actress who played the manager but it didn't distract from an overall brilliant story and lovely film. The music is amazing so thank you to the composer. I hope everyone watches Concerto.

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 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 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.

When Samantha looks at Abigail and says that she knows all she needs to know, I was hooked. First time in a long time that the chemistry between two leads was almost leaping off the screen. The acting is believable. I almost felt like I was a voyeur into their space. The story centers on the loss of hearing that Samantha is preparing for. She pulls Abigail in to help her cope but then pushes her out. In the end all is good but you need to see how these two women got there. The music is outstanding. Each note compliments each scene perfectly. Hard to do but the composer did it. I highly recommend adding Concerto to your list of films to see.
