Rented this "sight unseen" because Aidan Q was on the cover and my sister & I were looking for an easy watch...we got so much more than expected! I found this movie unexpectedly delightful throughout - well written, well acted, and the music! Have always liked running across bluegrass & folk music, but had never been a "buff" before. I found the music (and the performances) simply astounding in its simplicity and the way its "natural history" was portrayed. The characters seemed authentic as well, and I loved the unabashedly unselfconscious singers. I actually went out the next day and found the soundtrack, which I hardly ever do, and some other older bluegrass CD's as well. A truly enjoyable film, especially suitable for lovers of the music & period. Gratitude to Ms. Greenwald & all involved!
