Review of Jimmy's Hall (2014) by Maria J — 04 Jun 2014
It took me awhile to feel drawn into the story and the characters but when I did I felt the movie to be quietly moving and one that lingered for me for days after. Jimmy is a man who cares about others, about their struggles, who is humble and principled.
Who listens. He has the weatherbeaten face and weary smile of someone who has lived. The scenes he shares with his mother are the most touching and they explain where his values came from. The story with his love interest I found somewhat unnecessary though well acted.
I felt relieved that they didn't take it further than they did. I was left with the landscapes, the voices and the courage of Jimmy's choices.
