The One Who Loves You

The passion for filmmaking is palpable in Katharyn Grant's beautifully shot, superbly acted and deftly designed, "THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU".

I had the privilege of screening this film at the 15th annual BARE BONES INTERNATIONAL FILM & MUSIC FESTIVAL where Grant took home awards for Best Period Costume & Production Design and the CLU GULLAGER award for best actor.

Set in the south in the 1970's, THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU, is the story of a young woman pursuing her dream of becoming a musician despite the obstacles in front of her. The painstaking detail with which the film is crafted, heart and soul oozing from every frame, combined with an outstanding soundtrack make it easy to understand why this indie already has ten festivals under it's belt and more on the way. Bravo!

Very impressive accomplishment for first time director Katheryn Grant, who also performed the leading role with magnificent persuasion. Her role (hard to play) is of an ingénue who has no understanding of the corrupt and harsh world of the music industry. Yet, despite the manipulations of her seducer, she is inspired her to continue her singing efforts. I saw the film at the SENE film festival in Providence, where she won as best Director, and the film also won honorable mention. The period's ambiance, the costumes, the talented co-actors were all superbly cast. The storyline has unexpected twists and when all is combined, it creates an emotionally satisfying, uplifting film that touches on universal truths.

I had the pleasure of attending the premier of "The One Who Loves You". What a beautifully well done film, and without a Hollywood mega-budget. A limited release film that speaks to most of us. Very charming and poignant! Gloria is chasing her dream in spite of opposition from those that sold their dreams for security. She receives help along the way from those she meets and the story unfolds and ends just as it should. I really enjoyed the cinematography and seeing my home town in a film is always a treat. The acting was great, especially the charisma between the two main characters. The plot was fun and played out to a beautiful ending. This film is worth watching at least once.

Just watched The One Who Loves You last night and all I can say is amazing! The story was incredible and had elements of romance, humor, patience, determination and much more. I loved how all of the cars, attire, houses and other scene elements were correct for the time period. I cannot imagine all the effort and frustration that must have gone into making that happen. The film flowed very well with no lulls or slow areas that so many big budget films have these days. Character development was clear and went far enough without going overboard with too much information or details. I cannot say enough about this movie, I thoroughly enjoyed it and cannot wait to see it again. I am also looking forward to future endeavors by the very talented Katharyn Grant.

I loved this film. Its been so long since i have seen something with as much heart as this film. It has even given me ideas of making a film myself. I would love to see more like this. I am so inspired. I love It. I definitely recommend this not only to the people who like this kind of film, but to everyone that reads this. Please watch it. Its got so much heart and soul in it. It makes you want to watch it over and over again. Watch it and let it make your heart leap with emotion. I want to see it again and again and again. I want to own this film. It is so true to the filmmaker, it inspires me. I wish this were on DVD cause i would share it with everyone i know.
