Parallel Chords

I am not normally a drama watcher.....But being an indie film I gave it a chance. An inspiring look at the struggles that talented and creative people go through. Both father and daughter were amazing. It was relatable and well done team. Definitely a watch

I was truly affected by this film. Both musicians, the daughter and the father, were so believable. It's the kind of story that feels lived in, very real. It's a complex and artful film, but quite accessible. Anyone who has ever felt the pressure of a parent or their own ambitions can relate. It's an intelligent, well crafted and beautifully acted film. Musical, both in that it's set in the world of music and also has musical rhythm's in it's structure. I found the movie involving and an emotional tour de force. Bravo!

I love watching drama films that dive deep into family dynamics in a real and relatable way. All things together in this film drew me in, which is a big accomplishment for an indie film - the cinematography, directing, writing, acting, and story. Most of us can relate to the themes in this film - coming of age artist trying to find her own voice & place in the world, and parents who think they know best for their kids, giving guidance that comes from their own experiences in life. Hats off to Catherine Dudley-Rose and her team for creating an engaging drama film.

I am an avid watcher of indie films, I love the spirit and direction that can be taken when a large studio is not overseeing production. That said, I loved this film. All the actors brought so much to the screen and took the story beyond it's limits. It was deep and successful at driving home the point. Having adult friends who are music savants, I can see the obsession being all too real. A must see. So happy Amazon chose to pick this one up and support the industry.

Parallel Chords drew me in when I saw a number of film festival laurels and that it won several awards as well. It always helps a bit to see that kind of recognition first when taking a chance on a new indie film. The film is definitely deserving of its honors as it presents an intriguing story of a violinist and her overbearing musician father. I'm a big fan of films like Whiplash, but Parallel Chords still manages to offer something new and fresh to the genre. The performances are quite good in the film and I've always been a fan of Bjorn Johnson (who I'm currently watching in Counterpart). Parallel Chords is definitely worth a watch.
