Disturbing yet enthralling

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

An excellent "little" movie.
The story of a friendship between a new mother and a young neighbor in a wheelchair.
The trailer gives a much brighter image than it actually is. And it's better than the trailer. It gives a bittersweet atmosphere all along that takes guts. A film that speaks to young parents, first love, the passing of time, the mourning to do.
Simple and touching.

I loved this film!! It's poignant, raw, and so engaging. Performances across the board completely believable, truthful & deep. I didn't want it to end. Juliette Lewis is always interesting and here she is phenomenal, with every moment full and electric. The rest of the cast is also great. Jonny Weston, Josh Hopkins and Cybill Shepherd. So much fun to watch their shades of gray. And beautifully shot to make us feel like we're inhabiting this world. Masterfully directed by Jen McGowan. A must see!

This is a refreshingly realistic look at what usually happens when people make poor decisions and then slowly come to grips with the choices they've made and the consequences of those decisions. What I found most refreshing was the messy, complicated, unresolved ending. And for once - spoiler alert - the married couple actually stays together and decides to try harder and not give up on the relationship. My only quibble is that after a lot of heartache they do seem to own up to their mistakes fully and completely after only one brief conversation. In that sense I suppose the ending, while not wrapped neatly into a bow, is a bit Pollyanna-ish. Still, this movie is about the journey, which you fully experience with rich, real characters bought to life by a strong cast from top to bottom, including a strong showing by Cybil Shepherd in a supporting role. The three leads are superb as well, esp. Juliette Lewis. 9/10

Ugh.... so tired from this "SOHO STYLE DRAMA", where all conception, ideas and actions around music (which is mostly rock, punk rock,etc.), somebody who is different from whole of the world (loser, disabled person, unlucky or simpler lost person) and for sure with deep thoughts, and meaning.In my opinion, since we (as a human being) have movie "Once" (2006) which is sort of origin of this kind of movies and "Begin Again" (2013) which is good movie that kind of intervene a new style of music, clothing and way of living is enough. I understand that people who like "Song One" (2014), "Lords of Dogtown" (2005), "School of Rock" (2003) and "Trainspotting" (1996) will or would consider me as snobbish movie buff, but honestly, don't you think that it's time to create a good movie. That based on something, has some meaning and will be useful for our future generation and can be a heritage for them!?!
