As a guitar player myself, I developed an instant liking for the premise for the film. Hell you get an empty large New York loft, an actress with super model looks, and a couple of Marshall Stacks and a statocaster electric guitar, You will defiantly get some beautiful imagery. This is the story of a woman told she is going to die soon and goes on a spending spree, complete with dream lodging and furnishings as she changes everything in her life.

I have also had to deal with the early passing of my sister, so this easy for me to relate, my sister found solace in films, Melody Wilder the girl in this film in learning to play a red guitar. Saffron Burrows performance was convincing as the emotions she was asked to portray were done without a narrator to reinforce the audience’s suspicions. I very was surprised to find out that this was Amy Redford’s directorial début. The only thing that would have made this more enjoyable would have been some anamorphic shot blocking and some huge diffused light packs for the night shoots. The sound and the choose of music was well done as well as the set dressing as the film progresses. There is a scene in the beginning of this film, where Saffron Burrows is just holding a guitar and the amps are overloading and pure love is pouring out…  I’ll give this film a big thumb up and; I look really forward to seeing more from Amy Redford…”
