Movie Reviews of A Song for MartinMovie Review: How to Survive with Dignity Summary: 4 StarsAltzheimers...whew, this is an accurate depiction of succumbing to its debilitating grip over mental and physical processes. In fact, I suspect that this film will become the definitive take on the subject, short of actual documentation; the acting from the leads is utterly compelling, achingly accurate(from my experiences of those afflicted with the disease). Its a downhill roll with little or no reprieve, though through the eyes of a supremely loving spouse, we feel that the diseases lessons are intolerably awkward to accept. I gasped for air myself when, still clinging to memories and the restitution of happier times, our heroine escorts Martin to their honeymoon beachside, only to have him nearly drown her. Moments of humour both light and dark are conveyed with great attention to detail and timing, a testament to the team who put this work together.
Summary of A Song for MartinIn midlife, two soul mates finally meet and their passion is fueled by their love of music. Martin is a famous composer-conductor and Barbara a gifted violinist. Abandoning their lackluster lives, together they plunge into a new and exciting world, filled with creative energy. When their blissful existence is suddenly threatened, Barbara is courageously determined to prove that love conquers all. With time and with Martin's help, Barbara comes to understand the true meaning of deeply life-affirming love in this poignant and inspiring story.
