“Quinn takes on the lead role with an exemplary magnitude of energetic votality that breaches the heart, mind, and soul through her portrayal of Mel.
To witness the degree and expansive range of misery welling up in her is SO well acted by Quinn, who just infuses the character with an overwhelming aura of yearning to be free of the pain even as things don’t appear to be turning around. The final sequence of the film is tear-jerking drama at its most potent, at least it was for me, and made me appreciate Quinn’s talent and ability to “go there” so adeptly and realistically, which couldn’t have necessarily been easy to embody.”

“The piano really adds an air of maturity, beauty and depth to the music. Brilliant choice.
Early on there is certainly a sense of gravitas to the piano solo which really sets up for the induction of the vocals.
Throughout I got a sense that fell between forlorn and despondent, to soaring and hopeful.
The contrasting vocals were an inspired choice. One speaks to that youthful and boundless optimism humans all start with, while the other is more grounded, tempered by experience and hardship.
That immediately sets you into the mindset of someone being told a story.” - Steve Opie
