Liam Lacey Globe and Mail A technically competent but clumsily scripted drama about a legal princess and a musical pauper that loses momentum right after the initial collision. Rated: 2/4 Apr 5, 2013 Full Review Linda Barnard Toronto Star The story often subs ploys for sympathy in place of inspiration. Rated: 2/4 Apr 4, 2013 Full Review Chris Knight National Post The characters and their situations remain just complicated enough to let us believe in them.

Audience Member Good movie. With some twists and turns. Very good music. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This gives insight into the life of a homeless street busker, and the preconceptions that people have. This film does a superb job at getting you right into the feel of the character's lives. The music is captivating - the simplicity and beauty of a voice and a guitar draws you into the film. Kirk Caouette created this film, starred in it, wrote the music for it and performs the music beautifully. Extremely well done. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Moving and inspirational. Everyone should watch it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It didn't sink to maudlin sentimentality as I thought it might, but still a touching movie. And impressive directing, writing, acting and musicianship from Kirk Caouette. Also, I'm surprised I haven't seen Michelle Harrison in other movies..... Thanks for the satisfying storytelling! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I want to buy it as soon as it comes out on DVD or Blu Ray! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a WONDERFUL, unique film. I love the authenticity of the actors, especially Kirk Caouette. His music is captivating. I bought the CD and listen to it a lot. Great story and doesn't have that 'hollywood' feel at all. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
