Music will connect people

Rating: 8/10 (10 February 2019)

In the beginning, I expected it would be a typical success story of a singer-songwriter, who seemingly had trouble in the past and tries to "begin again." But as she is encouraged to come to the stage and starts singing with her guitar, I thought "It's not for me..." Maybe the voice of Gretta, starring Keira Knightley is great, and lyrics are touching; however, the melody is a little bit plain. Audiences in the film feel the same way, and there is only sparse applause after the performance except for one guy - he puts a full smile on his face and stares Gretta on the stage.
Suddenly, the focus of the camera moves to the guy, Dan. He used to be a talented music producer but loses his fame, property, job, family bond and almost nothing left. When he listens to Gretta's song, however, without hope at the bar, the story truly begins. While Gretta's performance, Dan sees musical accompaniments such as a drum, piano, or violin in his mind; now her plane song turns into much more emotional, attracting, and even breathtaking music!
As the story goes on, we find both Gretta and Dan is connected by their experiences of being betrayed by an important person, but I think the most attractive part of this movie is how two of them encounter led by music. The storyline is little bit typical, but I really like how various music in the film become the bridge for people with feeling of lost.
