Reception

Chris Knight of the National Post rated the film 2.5 stars out of 4, writing that "The plot may not quite measure up to the music, but taken together, they make a nice duet."[2] Ken Eisner of The Georgia Straight called the film "goodhearted" and "beautifully shot".[1]

Linda Barnard of the Toronto Star rated the film 2 stars out of 4 and wrote that "while the music is good and the scenery, thanks to cinematographer Pieter Stathis’s very capable camerawork, is gorgeous, the story often subs ploys for sympathy in place of inspiration."[3] Liam Lacey of The Globe and Mail called the film a "technically competent but clumsily scripted drama about a legal princess and a musical pauper that loses momentum right after the initial collision."[4]
