The One Who Loves You

Beautiful! The colors are gorgeous, the characters and situations are real, and the performances are brilliantly unique. I saw an advanced screener but am hoping to see it in a theater to appreciate the colors. It's a wonderful story for anybody who needs faith in what they're doing. The One Who Loves You gives us an example of a woman who pushes through the hardest type of adversity. Not that of rejection from the outside but from the inside - and the betrayals of those we thought loved us. She smiles (sadly) through it all and tries one more time each time she ought to quit. The story is nuanced and respects the audience. Katharyn Grant knocked it out of the park. Must see!

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.

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.

This is a classic case of less = more. If you are looking for perfection, Independent Film is probably not for you. However, "The One Who Loves You" is a prime example of what can be accomplished when a group of talented, obviously passionate and determined people come together to tell a story… Even if they don't have a bag full of cash. More than the sum of its parts, this film captures the essence of what film should be. As a production it has its high and lows, not unlike any other film regardless of budget. In the end though, it manages to succeed beautifully where many fail… Getting out of its own way to tell the story. Well done… WELL. DONE.

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!
