|  | Nice Movie with PC agenda |  |
The other reviews are accurate. This is beautifully crafted film. The plot however turns around a lesbian relationship. Lesbians are compassionate and wonderful, Christians are small minded, ignorant, and repressive. Unless you want to be fed pro homosexual, anti Christian propaganda skip this film, no matter how well made it is.
November 19, 2008 |  | Review of the movie "Songcatcher" |  |
This was one of the best movies Ive seen in a while. It was clean and fun. This movie depicted some of our American heritage showing where some of our music originated and how it was preserved over time. It was a delightful and entertaining movie. I liked the movie so much that I bought movie and the soundtrack. If you a lover of music at all this is a movie not only worth watching but also worth owning.
October 28, 2008This movie took me completely by surprise! Such a moving story of a womans refusal to submitt to inaffectual male domonance and fear. I found this movie uplifting, entertaining and certainly educational.
As a professional musician myself, I found it filled in a lot of gaps not taught in most college music courses. Absolutely charming, indeed.
October 9, 2008 |  | Good story, even better soundtrack. A must have for musicologists of every ilk. |  |
I used to live in this part of North Carolina, so the scenery was a treat for me. The history behind that wonderful, culturally rich music was quite fascinating, and the music itself was entrancing. Janet McTeer is superb in her role. Anyone who has seen her portray Vita Sackville-West in Portrait Of Marriage will appreciate the heart-wrenching twist in this story. Colorful, true to life characters will win your heart.
September 25, 2008Ordered to replace a stolen copy. Excellent condition for both DVD and packaging. This one doesn't have a bad spot the original had, either! Was in the process of moving and it came before I had to even worry about it. Thanks! Great job!
