I will keep this short and sweet, like the film. Im sad this movie has such low review, this movie wasn't exactly as I expected it to be but after watching it I realized it was exactly what it should be and that's what makes this movie special. This is a movie I will remember and gladly watch a second time. If you aren't sure about this film, I think it is worth a watch if not for any other reason than to kill time. It just might surprise you and leave you with the warm feeling it left with me. Although the reason why I gave it only nine stars is because the movie ended with a little more mystery than i would have liked, I like a film to ease me into the fact that such a beautiful story is ending. At the same time I'm torn, I like an ending that makes me wonder and keeps me on my toes as well.

I found Anne Hathaway a very believable grieving sister, she should be nominated for something for it, as for Johnny Flynn I think he did a great job with the sound track and with his limited acting experience did a notable job acting in this, but I believe the sound track is what moved the movie from a good movie to a really good movie. The plot was solid, the story line moved along very well and all the characters were believable, I sort of wish the ending would have ended with the two of them moving forward together, but I think the director and writer was right on doing it the way they did. Good movie, great for a Sunday rainy afternoon with your girlfriend.

It is most certainly not the best movie I have ever seen, but I still do not understand why so many low votes and disappointed comments. Maybe it has something to do with the ending of the movie, because it's an open one, and it leaves the conclusion(s) to the viewers. We don't know what happens next, we don't know if they end up together, I guess everyone will decide on their own and choose an ending they prefer. I loved the movie precisely because of the ending. It is more real that way, and therefore it is not just another happy end romantic movie. The music is amazing, and the movie itself has a soul, which is, for me, the most important requirement for a good movie. It is the story about a human drama, about life and family, about all the perks of having one. It is about meeting someone accidentally, when you least expect it, and all of the sudden you find yourself in the story of your life, without even being aware. Once it is all over, you learn how to cherish those moments, and you keep them as the precious ones. Because it has been worth it. Those who have been through stories like this will know what I'm talking about, and what this movie talks about. And they will catch a glimpse of themselves in this movie and its characters, and smile or cry in the name of old days and old loves.

-Song One (2015) movie review: -Song One is a romance based drama about a girl who seeks out her brother's favorite musician after her brother is hit by a car and put into a coma.-As a described that, I realized how much this film sounds like a generic music film combined with a generic Lifetime drama. That is about as thorough as I can be to how not-good this film is.-The story lacked any motivation, and therefor dragged on without cause.-The pace is the same as the story, which means it just drags on…. and on…. and on….-The acting was unimpressive. It stars Anne Hathaway who just moped around the entire time. Mary Steenburgen who plays the same character she always plays. And Johnny Flynn as the most introverted musician I have ever seen.-The characters are just how I described the actors.-The music was very forgettable, for a film about music.-A film like this did not need an ambiguous ending.-I am trying to think of anything else to say about it. It is not terrible, it just is not good. I smiled once. Once.-Song One is rated PG-13 for some brief language and a very suggestive scene.-Song One was not impressive or entertaining, and even though it was not terrible, Song One is not worth the 2 hours.
