Movie #1261 ........................."Like Sunday, Like Rain"

Movie #1261 "Like Sunday, Like Rain" --- good, indie film I watched last night, and NOT A HALLMARK one, for a change.  It deals with a very smart cello prodigy whose mom and dad are too busy to raise him, and due to a necessity, temporarily they hire a young girl who seems lost right now in her life --- lost job and just broke up with a long time boyfriend.  The kid and the girl click, and they both learn so much from each other --- enough to carry them onto the road to the rest of their lives.  It's slow, but I'm not complaining about that.  The boy is a bit too precocious, hard to believe some times, but it is a really competent cast with a story that  kept me involved, so I'd recommend this.  The only drawback was the ending --- we build to this big emotional point, but because of ineffective editing with music instruments, it fails.  But I got the gist of it, so it was okay --- but just okay.  Otherwise, good film.

"LIKE SUNDAY, LIKE RAIN"      2015      1 hr 44 min       R rated (for language)


When struggling musician Eleanor takes a position as nanny to 12-year-old cello prodigy Reggie, she's thrust into the role of parent, mentor and confidant -- giving rise to a friendship that has profound effects for them both.
