This is a small and sweet movie. It is not perfect but it is worth watching.
Brenda Blethyn's performance as an aggressive and self-centered mother is grating. But Jane Horrocks' performance as a shy, introverted young woman who has an extraordinary talent to sing in the style of famous singers is truly awesome. While watching the movie I assumed she was lip syncing because her range, from deep alto to high soprano was so great.
If you are a musician or music lover, you should watch this tour de force of singing.
