These minor issues with the story make it feel like the film, especially Christine’s character arc, is underdeveloped.

Quite impactful watching this musical drama with my daughters back in 2020 at a film festival. Haven Everly is a talented actor and influencer I hope we see in more lead roles. Hoping the music makes its way to Spotify so we can reconnect with the film. Overall, great debut here by Director Mallerie Ortega considering this is an indie with a limited budget. Looking forward to seeing what she does next! Update: The songs are now on Spotify but hard to find since Haven Everly is not listed on the tracks she sings on like "Breaking Through" and "The Girl Who Left Home" title track. A bit odd but what do I know? An oversight easily correctable. A lot of promise the soundtrack has been released which hopefully leads to people checking out the movie. Hopefully more positive Rotten Tomato reviews come in. I'm really rooting for this one.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
