I just saw August Rush last night. The story was preposterous, but the film was beautifully done. Wonderful music, fine acting, and gorgeous cinematography. You just have to ignore the absurdity of the plot and enjoy the film on other levels.
Jonathan performs some of the songs in the film (as he did in Velvet Goldmine) and I thought he was great. I don't normally buy film soundtracks, but this one I'm going to get. |
