StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Michael Ledo My bad that I didn't like this romance. Wanna-be song writer Henry (Ben Rosenfield) gets hit by a cab and in Brooklyn and goes into a coma. His sister Franny (Anne Hathaway) travels back from across the world to be with him. Apparently they had some minor falling out. She retraces his foot steps and meets James Forester (Johnny Flynn) an old indie singer/writer whose best days were past. Henry idolized this guy and now his sister is dating him, going around the cities' diverse music scene. Henry becomes secondary as our wondering boring couple make eyes at each other.There is one thing that women want. If someone writes a song for her, they love it no matter how bad it may be. The same is true for poetry. Women will carry a poem you wrote for them through an infinite amount of lovers and husbands. It is simple romance that appears to be dying in the electronic age and that may be the appeal of the film. As for me, I was bored to tears.Guide: Sex scene with no nudity.

tigerfish50 Estranged from her mother and brother after a trifling argument, PhD student Franny is photographing nomads in Morocco when she gets a message her street musician sibling Henry has been left in a coma after being hit by a taxi in NYC. She returns to the US to sit regretfully by his hospital bed, thinking up ways to rouse him from his oblivion. She soon discovers he admired another folk singer called James, and engineers a meeting with the young fellow at one of his gigs. The next day Franny is joined at Henry's bedside by this sensitive balladeer, and the relationship soon develops a lukewarm romantic element. Unfortunately there's nothing remarkable about this unambitious project - the acting of the two leads is adequate, but the narrative arc of these characters doesn't possess sufficient vitality to make the film memorable in any way. There are no surprises, mysteries or dramatic moments as the gelatinous flow of this lightweight tale is broken up at regular intervals by some forgettable songs. 'Song One' provides little more than a slow-moving, low-key experience until it eventually arrives at a predictable conclusion.

sadiemvr I will keep this short and sweet, like the film. Im sad this movie has such low review, this movie wasn't exactly as I expected it to be but after watching it I realized it was exactly what it should be and that's what makes this movie special. This is a movie I will remember and gladly watch a second time. If you aren't sure about this film, I think it is worth a watch if not for any other reason than to kill time. It just might surprise you and leave you with the warm feeling it left with me. Although the reason why I gave it only nine stars is because the movie ended with a little more mystery than i would have liked, I like a film to ease me into the fact that such a beautiful story is ending. At the same time I'm torn, I like an ending that makes me wonder and keeps me on my toes as well.

nangan29 How do you spell "Relief"? S-o-n-g-O-n-e! Finally... a movie that knows how to be refreshingly real and not afraid to use it. Life is fragile. I don't know of anyone who hasn't experienced an event that changed their world in an instant. The movie's characters and story drew me in from beginning to end. What's not to love about Anne Hathaway as she struggles to let go and understand her brother's world rather than that of strangers in faraway places? As Franny re-discovers her own love and appreciation for the talent, passion and struggles of musicians, so do I! Johnny Flynn? A truly amazing performance as a sensitive, sometimes awkward and insecure artist whose voice and poetry speaks from his heart to all who listen. Song One is a movie that will not be forgotten by it's viewers. Unless you are an unfortunate soul in a coma, your senses will be heightened as well as your sensitivity and connection to the realities of life.
