Patty H This movie is surprisingly touching, heartbreaking, and revealing of the best and worst of human nature. I shocked that it didn’t get nominated for many awards. The performances are complex, moving, and touching, and the storyline will throw you for a loop at the end. The songs are all excellent. Overall, the movie will leave you pondering a lot, at least it did for me. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Luke B it is a CRIME this movie is not being recognized or getting the praise it deserves. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/22/24 Full Review Daniel G Totally absorbing drama, with some great rock music, realistic protagonists and a wrenching ethical issue that's brilliantly touched upon in the last scene. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/24 Full Review edgar p Probably one of the best film i watched.. the critics are paid or just plain stupid! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/24/23 Full Review isla s I thought this was quite a good film, covering the theme of male (or parental) grief, although it is by no means overly sentimental or sweet, yet I did feel it was a bit touching at times. I thought Billy Crudup did well in portraying the father, Sam, clearly struggling to figure out how to move forward after losing his son - the way he used his voice to speak the thoughts of his late son through the lyrics he discovers. Some of the songs were amusing or thoughtful and I enjoyed the scenes in which the songs were played in public - they were quite buzzing. Its quite a good film at making you think of how you can express yourself (or close relatives) through music, To be critical, a part of me felt like perhaps more emphasis should, or could, have been put on Sams son, on learning more about his life but then I suppose its meant to be more about Sam than about his son. It is a good film, a decent music related drama but I didn't feel it was especially brilliant so as to deserve a 5 star rating. I can't quite put my finger on what didn't work for it not to get the higher rating, perhaps other than a lack of context maybe (and perhaps the ending was a little cheesy) but I did feel it was quite a good film regardless, so I'd recommend it on that basis.
