Um þessa kvikmynd

Soulful and musical British exchange student Sophie Williams (Jones) comes to New York in search of inspiration. On the surface, Sophie's host family seems happy enough, but with her arrival to the Reynolds' Upstate New York home, the private struggles of each family member begin to bubble. In particular, frustrated musician-turned-piano- teacher Keith Reynolds (Guy Pearce) finds long suppressed dreams and desires reignited by Sophie's talent and inquisitive nature. While Keith's wife, Megan (Amy Ryan), and daughter, Lauren (Mackenzie Davis) focus on Lauren's final year of high school, Sophie and Keith are drawn ever closer by their mutual longing for creative expression. Ultimately, Sophie and Keith must confront how much they are willing to sacrifice and what they truly want out of life.

Beautiful, lyrical, tragic, romantic, upsetting, uplifting!!! Lovely acting, Guy Pearce (fave!) & Felicity Jones, what a sensitive actress. Maybe somewhat melodramatic, a throw-back to old Bette Davis-style films.

Exquisite performances, brilliant directing and editing. Not a moment is wasted in this film; every second is the proverbial picture that's worth a thousand words. Tense and gripping, but each truth told is told with merely a glance.

Amazing
