Concerto for Abigail

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.

Okay. I'll admit it. I have a crush on Andrea Bogart so I just had to watch this movie. I was definitely not disappointed. She glows and between she and now my new favorite Monica Young, I loved them both. It's a wonderful story and much more engaging than I expected. My heart went out to Samantha. To be a musician and face deafness is hard to imagine. Monica nailed it in showing us how angry and sad she is. Then comes Abigail who brings love and support. I really loved this film and will watch it many times. Not just to see the ladies, but to also be reminded about the wonderful story and the message.

When Samantha looks at Abigail and says that she knows all she needs to know, I was hooked. First time in a long time that the chemistry between two leads was almost leaping off the screen. The acting is believable. I almost felt like I was a voyeur into their space. The story centers on the loss of hearing that Samantha is preparing for. She pulls Abigail in to help her cope but then pushes her out. In the end all is good but you need to see how these two women got there. The music is outstanding. Each note compliments each scene perfectly. Hard to do but the composer did it. I highly recommend adding Concerto to your list of films to see.

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.

Definitely open a bottle of your best champagne. Then curl up on the sofa or your cushy bed with someone you love. This is one film that just may make you fall in love all over again. I know I did. Monica Young and Andrea Bogart are superb actresses. I believed in them as a couple and was only sorry that there wasn't a longer movie so I could watch them interact more. I was especially moved by the lighting used in different scenes. The bedroom one was luscious. Both women couldn't have looked more beautiful. The scene in the end is amazing. The music is powerful and the look on Samantha's face is priceless. Thank you for making this beautiful movie.
