Enchanting, Great singing, Refreshing, Indulgent, Cliched

See it if You love bluegrass music and beautiful harmonies. You enjoy musician-actors. You're looking for something small and intimate.

Don't see it if This is a work in progress, so don't expect to see a flawless piece. It's almost there, it just needs to fine-tune its POV.

Ambitious, Disappointing, Great singing, Thought-provoking, Resonant

See it if Davis' beautiful songscape is affectionate, poignant & melancholy as well as expertly sung But more autobiographical than politically adroit

Don't see it if The chaotic book is both naive & misguided Indian Joe's adversity story is sacrificed for Davis' "growing pains" saga & often looses empathy

Beautiful lighting/staging, Some very talented performers, Story/tone uneven, Promising, but clichéd

See it if You'd appreciate a bluegrass score performed by able cast in well-staged production. The lead sings, acts, fiddles in a story she's written.

Don't see it if Can't look past some amateurish writing, a few actors who can't project, a story with shifting focus, or are hoping for an insightful work. Read more
