Ludicrous casting

Rating: 5/10 (3 August 2019)

This film could have been great with a more believable female lead than Keira Knightley. Instead of casting an actual musical talent for the role of the rough diamond discovered by Mark Ruffalo's producer-character the makers of this film thought theyd better cast a 'box office actress' who absolutely isnt a good singer and SO not a believable shooting star singer/musician, and so the film looses you from the very beginning. Mark Ruffalo always gives a film weight but there is too much cliché in the story telling here.
