    One of the best movies that I have ever seen.

    This movie is really good, perfect for me, is about a rockstar fightning against grief, and its so well representaded, Elliot (Joe Anderson) make a godly acting, but is not for everyone, is kinda trashy and melancolic, 2 genres of movies that are for specific niches, but if you like both this movie will be 10/10 for you just like me, this is one of those movies that or you love it with all your heart, or you hate it with all your guts.

    Good concept...gone terribly terribly wrong.

    Points for originality here but that's about it. Subpar acting, disjointed storytelling and the murkiest most annoying sound mixing you will ever encounter. So bad it's hard to get through it, but I did. There's worse out there but there's so much more that's better. Next time the production team should focus less on trying to be unique and more on trying to be palatable.

    Worst movie I have ever seen

    There has been better acting in porn for crying out loud.Eliot cant even speak coherently.There is nothing good about this schlock....t is a movie for born-again Christians and should only be shown at churches....Horrible and very misleading title.You have the main character look like Kurt Cobain,yet his music sounds like the Goo Goo Dolls sappiest number.Don't ever waste your time with this garbage...I want my hour and a half back!Everone involved in this movie should never be allowed to work in the business again.Horrible.I cannot say enough bad things about this piece of crap.They are sullying the names of all the people that are actually in the"27 Club"

    Well Done,

    Sometimes you just get lost and loose hope. It seems musicians, successful or not are a very complicated group of people. I have known several hundred including my family. There is a lot of truth to this movie ,and humans in general. I get it, when your done, your done. It's the people that love you that have to find understanding and not make it about them. The movie may not be for everyone but it certainly is a good realistic walk down suicides dark road. Life is challenging and people think that fame and fortune is perfect. It's not unless you have been around millionaires and billionaires you will never understand. People demand a lot from musicians and when you have nothing more offer what's left?

    Story of a famous musician trying to deal with the death of his best friend & band mate.

    I saw this film when I was at the Calgary Film Festival. I thought it was amazing.

    David Emrich did and amazing job. He was able to offset Joe Anderson's character by bringing humor to an otherwise awful and dramatic situation. The acting was great, very believable characters.

    The cinematography throughout the movie was gorgeous. I really enjoyed the scenes filmed in the Southwest.

    I would recommend it! This film is a wonderful tribute to Erica Dunton.She wrote a story that illustrates the struggles of a young musician with his addictions, the struggles in his past, & his hope for a new start.

    I hope to see it in theaters soon!
