Hear My Song Review
A quirky, thoroughly enjoyable comedy, Hear My Song is a small film with a huge soul. Managing to avoid most of the condescending sentiment that characterizes other films about small-town Irish folk, the film comes off instead as a likeable, witty portrait of local color, broken dreams, and desperate ambition. Its two greatest strengths are its script, co-written by director Peter_Chelsom and star Adrian_Dunbar, and Ned_Beatty's sterling performance as tenor-on-the-lam Josef Locke. By turns sweet and swaggering, Beatty gives a robust, charismatic performance and proves himself every inch an unlikely romantic lead. His portrayal of Locke reflects the film's overall appeal: ballsy yet bashful, Hear My Song resounds with the surprising charm of a valentine written by a dissolute but loveable con artist.
