Song Sung Blue

[ShortCutie7]

Saw this the other day… here are some of my thoughts (as someone who is an “arts person” but not really a “film person”):

-It’s technically a great movie, sure to be nominated for multiple awards.

-Kate Hudson is a FANTASTIC singer!

-Hugh Jackman is hot af even when made to look frumpy.

-I usually don’t like child actors, but the young man who played Hudson’s character’s son was phenomenal.

-My only criticism of the film as a work of art is that the timeline is not at all clear (the events seemed to take place over 2-3 years in the mid 90s; the events the movie is based on actually took place from 1989-2006).

-It is NOT the feel-good movie that was advertised… maybe the first third of the film but definitely not as a whole, in terms of tone or content.

I cried a few times watching the movie. It’s not perfect, but it was so good 😭

Same!  But I went in expecting it to NOT be the kind of movie to make me cry 😂

I was late "discovering" this gem. Agree with all previous posters.
