A	Typical story of black musician. Great soundtrack
A	Stark and uncompromising. Loved the alto sax!
A	Excellent: beautifully actedand very powerful. Great interplay of literal and metaphoric scenes. Wonderful jazz too.
A	Redeemed in the end. I enjoyed this film — second time I've seen it — and thought it was even better. Very stylish and great performances by the actors. Black and white perfect for subject.
A	Great. Loved it. Complex, thought provoking. Showed complexity of depression, addiction, talent, hopes fears, anxiety, effect on loved ones. Like sparse directing and black and white effective for subject matter.
B	Interesting view flash back in music well played — atmospheric sad story of gifted musician.
B	Very slow, very consciously an 'art' film but also an interesting and moving perspective xx xxxx (illegible)
B	Harrowing, slow-moving, but ultimately rewarding depiction of man's descent into oblivion
B	Slow to start, but as the story unfolded very poignant. Enjoyed a black & white film.
B	Mostly excellently made on a budget. Very sad.
B	Good story, gripping at times — well acted. Some great music.
C	A bit slow and depressing but shows the 'tortured soul' side of many artists.
C	Not exactly a bundle of laughs and a bit slow but basically a good story well acted.
C	Very powerful and poetically filmed but too depressing for me.
C
C	Excellent photography. Action was somewhat drawn out. Great singing.
C
C	We'd like a happy ending please :-) I loved how it was shot and the fact it was black and white which set a mood of a troubled soul.
C	Moving sad film. Lovely sax music.
D	Wooden characters. Poor dialogue. Clichéd images. Predictably silly plot. Music and camerawork good.
D	Good for low budget.
