The Ultimate Mountain Music Movie?
By a customer from Cannock, Staffordshire , 25 Sep 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
Set in the Appalachian mountains in the early part of the 20th century, this is a beautifully told story about a passed over musicologist who goes to stay with kin. This well acted drama captures the slow pace of life of mountain folk in that era, but it is really all about the Blue Grass or Mountain Music that has been handed down from generation to generation since the arrival of settlers from GB and Ireland more than a century before.
The music is prominent throughout the film and is presented as 'live' performances. I give this 4 stars simply because the movie is so different, and the music makes it so. I am not certain this movie will appeal to all British audiences and you may not agree with my rating. If you enjoyed the music in 'Oh Brother Where Art Thou' then you might like to give this a try. You may otherwise be disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed it's 109 minutes.
