Daniel M @MazzaQuePasa Dec 9 This is definitely a hidden gem of a movie that I never knew existed. The story was amazing with characters that kept me attached to the story in a very emotional way. Travolta and Scarlett were great together, really well told story. See more M S @RT42918521 Aug 18 This is a beautiful movie- from the score to the literary references to the scenery- gorgeous. The story is as sentimental as it is unsparing of its character’s flaws.. See more Cathy S @RT99565695 07/06/2024 Touching and beautiful, Another gold for John who is very underrated as an actor...

The story might be brilliant, but the terrible acting is just too hard to swallow.

It's a story of lost hope, unattainable dreams, redemption and finding some form of family within a community of strangers. On the positive side, Johansson is fantastic in the lead role, the score is excellent and the film captures the feel of the downtrodden side of New Orleans. From a negative perspective, the movie has an unrelentingly oppressive atmosphere, where the only tension comes from the anticipation of somebody cracking a smile. It's also ridiculously predictable, topped off with a performance from Travolta that gives the vibe that he isn't comfortable portraying a Southerner or a drunkard. See more Read all reviews
