So much more than a musical tribute

Rating: 10/10 (14 July 2014)

I went because I thought I would enjoy the music and I really knew nothing about the story of The Four Seasons. This movie is so much more than just a musical tribute. It's the story of friendship, brotherhood (and therefore sisterhood), parenting and doing the best we know how, love, heartache, disappointment and each of us making our own way in our own way. It brought tears to my eyes several times and not necessarily for the screen story but for what story crossed into my own family and relationships. I absolutely wanted to applaud but no one in my theatre did so (all seniors). I'd like to see this taken seriously by the Academy. Thank you Clint Eastwood.
