Aidan Quinn, who I could "take or leave" in previous performances delivers a masterful performance, in my opinion. No anorexic Barbie dolls, or exploding cars, so beloved by the 100% red blooded American male. Brava!įinally, a movie that does not insult your intelligence. I will not forget now, as she was the most interesting character in the movie. Her career is is old as i am and I am sure that I have probably seen her many times over the years and not known who she was. I have to end with a note about Pat Carroll, who played Viney Butlet. I wasn't inclined to see Posiden, but I will make it a point now to see her again. I loved her in The Phantom of the Opera, The Day after Tomorrow, and Mystic River and now add another great performance to the list. The music was awesome, and this was Emmy Rossum's first movie. It was a beautiful, tender story about people and differences like the reaction over the discovery of her sister's partner, Harriet (E. In the process, she learned what life was really all about. She discovered that there was indeed culture among those whom the outlanders considered ignorant, inbred hillbillies, and she was determined to capture and share that culture. Songs that were originally written in Ireland and Scotland and hidden in the Apppalatian Mountains. Neither could Lily Penleric (Janet McTeer), Doctor of Musicology, who came up into the mountains to visit her sister Elna (Jane Adams), and discovered music that had not been heard by "outlanders" in hundreds of years. His idea of enjoying is playing music and drinking corn liquor. There is no question in the mind of Tom Bledsoe (Aidan Quinn). What is life for? That's a question that many people throughout the ages have asked.
