A movie for songwriters

Rating: 7/10 (11 June 2009)

If you're a young musician, doing your best to become a songwriter and spending money and time at the local recording studio, then you would understand what this movie is all about. If you're looking for a great love story, then maybe this movie is not for you, because, more than anything, it is a film about friendship between lonely young people.
The movie is filled with songs, most of them are very cool and heartbreaking, all of them are telling a story of love lost and hope regained. I found myself wishing for more text than songs, but all in all it didn't ruin my pleasure.
The actors are good. Not great, just good. Maybe it's because they were not given too much chance to act. The plot is simple, but in a way it's surprising, mainly because you think you're watching a love story, until you're faced with some twists.
All in all, it's a small production for a small story, but if you're into moody, warm cinema, then you would find this movie uplifting.
