2/4
A technically competent but clumsily scripted drama about a legal princess and a musical pauper that loses momentum right after the initial collision. Go to Full Review

The story often subs ploys for sympathy in place of inspiration. Go to Full Review

05/15/2020 Good movie. With some twists and turns. Very good music. See more 08/03/2019 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. See more 04/03/2017 Moving and inspirational. Everyone should watch it! See more 01/14/2016 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! See more 07/26/2013 I want to buy it as soon as it comes out on DVD or Blu Ray! See more 05/15/2013 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. See more Read all reviews
