A touching, tender and smart film that effectively blends elements of musical and romance, while maintaining an air of realism and honesty one rarely finds in either genre. - Dan Jardine

Quietly and modestly inches its way into your heart, and by the time it reaches its wrenching and beautiful closing scene, you know you’ve experienced something special. - Brian Webster
