Concerto for Abigail

I could go on and on about this wonderful and gently told story but I want to tell you all that you will love every character in this movie. The lead actresses are beautiful and perfect as Samantha and Abigail. I thought the woman who played Dr. Christopher was excellent. Again very believable in every way. The actor who plays Jack the Empire Club manager is cast well. From his love and caring of Samantha to his sort of believable relationship with Samantha's manager, John Hale stood out. I don't know if the trio is real musicians or not, but I believed them too. Much has been said about the score. I agree with everyone. It's spectacular. One of the best movies I've seen in a long time.

I watched the film for the story and it's a tender, heart wrenching story. I watched it again for the music. This has the most beautiful score I've heard in a film in a long time. Samantha conveys so much emotion in her expressions and body language. And Abigail does the same as though the two lovers have their own language that they won't share with us. When Samantha says that they are an "us" I feel the bond they are making. The story brought a few tears as Samantha deals with a coming loss. But I believed it all. Many thanks to writer and director Jan Corran for bringing us what will surely be the number one lgbtq film of the year. Oh and it is gorgeous to watch.

I can't imagine what it would be to lose my hearing, but for a musician it must be the worst. Monica Young brilliantly lets us into her world as her hearing is disappearing. The acting of Young and her companion actress Andrea Bogart are very believable. The way they look at each other gaze me goose bumps. I mean its hard to see desire in a face but it sure is there. In the end I felt that they were a real couple. Other people in the movie were also excellent. Jetta Martin as the spurned former lover of Abigail was terrific. I loved the "talk" manager hard with Samantha. Made me think a lot about how people accept loss. I hope everyone sees this beautiful movie.

I rarely give a film ten stars but I honestly found nothing wrong and everything right with this movie. The story is touching and the writer handles it beautifully. The lead actresses are very believable. I don't know if they are gay in real life but if not, they convinced me that they are women who like women. Some of the supporting actors were excellent. I thought the members of the trio were wonderfully played. If they were faking it, it didn't show. The manager was annoying but it works well. Her over protection shows. I can't say enough nice things about Monica Young as Samantha and Andrea Bogart as Abigail. Their love builds in a stunning way. It's a beautiful film.

I have found my new favorite film couple. Monica Young and Andrea Bogart lovingly bring Samantha and Abigail to life. Both actresses make their characters real and beautiful. The story is sad in the beginning but ends on a note of hope. The music is gorgeous. I watched a couple times for the couple but also to hear the music. Finding out that it was Young who wrote and sings a song in the film was an added treat. The entire cast is terrific. I also loved the cinematography. Some magical moments were displayed and the lighting on a couple of them was romantic and sexy. One of the best lesbian films I've ever seen.
