About this movie

Jazz pianist Joe Albany (John Hawkes) and his daughter Amy-Jo (Elle Fanning) battle insurmountable odds in seedy 1970s Los Angeles in this compassionate and compelling story of the unwavering love between a father and a daughter.

Ratings and reviews

We get a very personal, albeit somewhat slow paced, portrait of Joe Albany's bittersweet relationship with his daughter, music and heroin. The leisurely pace, however, offers intimacy, authenticity and pathos to create a satisfying, moving experience.

A labor of love, crafted beautifully, carefully made, with attention to compassion and the love between a talented man and his daughter. Excellent!

Good
