An Ode to Music, Friendship & New York City

Rating: 7/10 (6 November 2016)

This movie to me is very understated as it should be.
I love the way the entire movie is an ode to love; love for music, love for family, love for what you do (be anything you are passionate about) and a love for New York City. And that to me was romanticized without the usual boy - girl falling in love scenario.
It's a story about how 2 broken people find each other and in turn mutually heal each other while producing an incredibly heart warming album.
The music in this movie was incredible. Lost Stars, Hold on, even the break up song (loved you like a fool) made me wanna wish I did the same to my ex - boyfriend.
A lot of the nuances in the film can be connected to in different levels without over dramatizing the same; like troubled relationships, father - daughter connection, the struggling musicians of the city trying to find their dream.
I've already re - watched this movie a hundred times.And trust me, if far from boredom.
