Movie #997 "The Music Never Stopped" -- This is a bit tough getting into, with parents being very sad and then confused that they are getting a call about an estranged son, and then they find out he has a tumor and he has some mental problems. However, once they start to help get back their original son and help him live with his mental condition, the film takes a turn for the better. The role of the son is a tough one here because he doesn't talk much --- only when he reacts to certain songs, and there is a lot of music in this film. I liked that about it. This is very much an indie film that takes its time, but the end is worth the journey, I think. It is slow-going, but it touches on a lot of universal themes and esp. focuses on the father/son relationship, and I appreciated that in the film. Good sound indie film on family going through tragedy.
The Music Never Stopped
