For the budget of this type of movie, the acting was actually very good and the photography was good as well. Was it excellent, no. They could have done a bit more backstory and lost some of the full songs - the scene where her sister plays is a good scene, but it drags on way too long and just gets sappy and boring. But, the musical writing was very good once again for a low budget film with absolutely no known actors. I love independent films, but I can't stand when the film makers just leave the ending up in the air. In this film, at least you get that ending, that satisfaction and catharsis. Bravo to the young lady who made this film happen. Nobody gets it perfect at first, but I think this is a good start!
