    Jarring rather than a sweet natured film

    What could have been a sweet-natured and gently charming Cornish-set romance is full of jarring contradictions that irritate rather than sooth. For example the lead character claims to be an earth loving evangelist but supports wood burning stoves, drug cartels and the tobacco industry and drives an old polluting van.

    Feel good, good sounds

    To be fair, the story is not remarkable - been there done that kind of thing. But that's where the comparisons end. The scenery, acting, sound track and general effect on my well being were totally remarkable. Watchable, fun and with a cracking dependable ending, I could ignore any and all of the few faults. I am Cornish and live a long way away from the sea, but the imagery and seascapes stole my heart. The lead character Tally is so engaging, her delivery, timing and total performance tied the film to a rock, by the ocean. Wonderful. I agree, the lack of reviews is lamentable, but hopefully this will change with time. One to watch in a troubled world.

    For a debut movie this is really something else

    A beautiful thoughtful plot capturing two people coming to a moment of reflection in life. It's as good as I've seen in some Hollywood maga funded movies. Well done all involved. I hope you do a follow up. Great honest acting, so rare these days. The lady who wrote, acted, made and sang the beautiful music for this film, should be rightly proud of a great achievement. For such a small cast it keeps you enthralled all the way through. I particularly loved the little details that contrast modernity and money with the desire to live as many of us would love to achieve. Dreamy, captivating and most of all, entertaining.

    Adored it.

    Breathtakingly beautiful.

    We just loved this film. A film you just get so emotionally attached to. Everything about it is beautiful. Well worth watching, especially with someone you love. Martha is such a talented artist, we saw her live last night and loved the whole show. The film is an emotional ride, along with beautiful scenery. The music will touch your soul, make you realise what is important in life, and that answer is love. The soul craves nature and love and this film gives you both.! A very enjoyable experience. It's so refreshing to watch a film not made by Hollywood, a film that lifts your soul, a film touched by God.

    Glad I bumped into this

    A gentle rom com. Great atmosphere and music that gently drifted us through wet afternoon.

    Of course it is a rom com, with a gentle plot and an absurd lead character. She can't work a cleaner but can create a makeshift music studio from brooms and sticky tape.

    Suspend belief for a little while and enjoy a lovely bus trip through enchanted music and a boy meets girl story line.

    A patch of sunshine during that wet afternoon.

    Very nice, thank you.

    So without spoiling the story what do you get. Beautiful folk music which you just sit quietly attentive to. Some excellent visuals of Cornwall and some gentle not from this world characters.
