Lovely

Rating: 9/10 (13 September 2007)

This was one of the best films shown at the 2007 Edinburgh Film Festival, and it was definitely encouraging to see something of this calibre produced from such minimal funding. Just goes to show if you have a strong script and lead actors then everything else becomes superfluous.
The songs are of a very high quality and really carry the film which would probably collapse without them. It's not really a musical though, as the songs played generally don't have anything to do with the plot, it's a film featuring a lot of musical performances which isn't the same thing.
It's a great project and leaves you thoroughly heart-warmed, and I hope it goes on to find the success it deserves.
