So my first Netflix of the weekend was this charmer. And I've got to say that while I liked it well enough, I think the accolades have been a bit extreme. It ends up being quite endearing and a nice journey, but I found much of the first half pretty uncomfortable to watch. Now, true, maybe that just means it was real and accurate - but that didn't make it pleasant or enjoyable. But once I was under the spell of it, I enjoyed it, and I liked some of the songs a good deal, especially the ones in the studio, "When Your Mind's Made Up" and "Fallen from the Sky". Though, sure, "Falling Slowly" is understandably the one that'll be up for awards. And really I'd think it'd have to be a heavy favorite for the Best Song Oscar (especially since Hairspray's "Ladies Choice" won't be nominated).
