Eve is in the
hospital because she hasn’t been taking care of herself, she is struggling with
depression, she’s not been eating and she attempted suicide. A therapist is working with her to show
her she can’t do anything she wants to accomplish if she doesn’t feed herself
first. Eve keeps leaving the
hospital but she really needs to stay.
She begins to write songs to start to heal and she travels to the city,
the West End of Glasgow, Scotland.
She meets James and Cassie.
They also want to write songs and they want to help Eve. James finds a place for her to live and
she gets a job as a waitress.
There were a lot of
times I didn’t know if I could finish this film? There is a lot of imagination in the plot and I wasn’t sure
what was real and what was not.
The film becomes a pick and choose, like the songs, hate the plot? Don’t like the songs, wish for more
plot? Just watching the three lead
actors and their cuteness only gets you so far? 2 ½* (This movie is so-so)
