Synopsis:

From IMDb: “A grieving father in a downward spiral stumbles across a box of his recently deceased son’s demo tapes and lyrics. Shocked by the discovery of this unknown talent, he forms a band in the hope of finding some catharsis.”

Poster: C-

Review: Will anyone looking at this design care about the film? It has elements of what the premise is, but those elements won’t mean much to those who have no idea what the point of seeing it would be.

Trailer: B-

Review: A few snappy bits of humor don’t make up for a generally safe trailer design. It tackles the music meaningfully and sets up the film’s “moving on” post-tragedy motivation, but it doesn’t have the life or value one would expect from this type of movie.

Oscar Prospects:

It might have a distant shot at an Original Song nomination, but even that relies on the music branch looking beyond the familiar.
