August Rush (2007)
description written by member Zara:
"August Rush" tells the story of a charismatic young Irish guitarist (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and a sheltered young cellist (Keri Russell) who have a chance encounter one magical night above New York's Washington Square, but are soon torn apart, leaving in their wake an infant, August Rush, orphaned by circumstance.

Two fellow artists and I saw the film together. We loved every magical moment of August Rush. From the cinematography to the musical score, screenplay and acting, we have only praise for the movie.
