Brilliant writing and casting

Rating: 7/10 (31 May 2015)

I wanted to love this movie because I love New York (until the scene when he walks from suburbia to the lower east side and his suburban daughter goes to high school in Manhattan, it's not LA, suburbia and the city aren't down the street from each other in New York, I'm glad they casted the girl from true grit, I don't know why. The editing and dialogue are brilliant throughout. Ruffalo and Knightley have great chemistry. What I love the most is the emphasis put on how cringeworthy and unauthentic the music industry has become. Its brilliant. Brilliant acting from Knightly. The only problem I have is that this is one of those underdog stories so I got bored
