Sleeper Movie Boomers Will Love
Added 9/9/2009
This is the story of a female singer/songwriter making her way through the maze of the late early 1960s music scene, first in NYC and then in LA. Not a biopic, but close similarity to Carole King's rise to fame.

Beautiful sensitive film
Added 6/4/2009
This is one of my favorite films ever! The sensitivity of the coming of age for female singers in the music industry seems so real.
My whole family has loved this movie for years!

Flick of my heart
Added 2/16/2009
I love this movie, this is one that goes on my top 50, maybe even 20. This story about a songwriter who wants to be a singer, is so great. I love Ileana Douglas, she's such a great actress and is wonderful in this film. I'm not sure if this would be a movie I would watch often due to some heavy subject matter like suicide and mental illness, but it ends great, Denise Waverly finally becomes a successful singer. The costumes are beautifull and Ileana Douglas looks amazing in them. My only criticism is the lip-synch work, it's not so great. Ileana Douglas should have sang herself I've heard her sing in other movies, and I think she could have sang well. Other than that it's a definite buy.

The first time we watched this movie was probably over 10 years ago - loved it then and love it now. The music is fabulous as is the story line and acting. It's a great one to own!!!

Illeana Douglas Rocked!
Added 5/3/2008
A very long time ago I was looking at Moooovies for a new film when I see one copy of this movie--I pick it up read- Rent For the rest of my life I will wonder what is wrong with the movie biz that a compelling story like this has been over looked by more than 1/2 the world. If only I had a loudspeaker! And the songs. Love them. This movie is the story of a wonderful singer who can't break in to the biz So she works her way up writing songs for other people. We follow her on this journey examining life and death. Love and heartbreak. And a life time of strength.
