Movie Reviews of Songcatcher
Movie Review: One to Own
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband plays fiddle and wanted to see this movie because he hadheard the soundtrack was made up of old songs you have a hard time finding on recordings. I went along because I love movies. The movie turned out to be great! The music is a big contributor to what makes the film work, but this takes nothing away from the characters or story. Whoever said in one of the other reviews that this movie had soap opera situations did not see the same movie that I did. The characters are unique, as you would expect in a setting like this, and the stories are their own.

Movie Review: Pleasantly surprised!
Summary: 5 Stars
I wasn't really expecting much when I first rented this movie because I had never even heard of it, but boy! was I surprised! I absolutely loved it! Bluegrass music doesn't really do much for me, but I wouldn't really call this bluegrass. The songs and music are more earthy and emotional. The characters are so down to earth and real. I loved these people--I wanted to go to the mountains and find people and music like this. I got on the internet and bought a copy of the movie and the soundtrack. I have watched this movie more than any other movie that I own.Movie Review: An Amazing Film
Summary: 5 Stars
This film was first screened at The Hampton's International Film Festival, where I saw it, and right there and then I fell in love with it. Not only is the story beautifully written and carried out, but the music, the landscapes and the actors are especially touching, and add an entire "layer" to the film altogether. The two actors that really stood out were Aidan Quinn and the ever so fabulous Janet McTeer and her amazing performance. I would highly recommend this film, and it is definitley a must see!Movie Review: Songcatcher
Summary: 5 Stars
A small film filled with unexpected delights, Maggie Greenwald's "Songcatcher" deals with culture clash (North/South, urban/rural) and the fading of traditional folkways, but concentrates mostly on the ruggedly beautiful backwoods music. McTeer is wonderful as the steely, driven Easterner who falls for a prideful local musician (Aidan Quinn), and the rest of the cast--including newcomer/vocalist Emmy Rossum--is terrific. Stunning scenery and hauntingly pure ol'-timey music round out this warm, tuneful tale.
