Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Jewel is a gem! This video of a largely acoustic, mostly solo live performance shows why so many love her. She is authentic, honest and vulnerable with her audience. We feel included, and in this performance we experience a form of audience participation that I've never seen before in a stage presentation by a famous singer. Through her music Jewel shares from her explorations as to who she is, and by extension we each get to know something heart-felt about our selves. She knows we are each a part of something much more comprehensive than "self", and that one's sense of and contribution to community matters. In this video we see Jewel shine, and enjoy her amazing music as she touches our souls. Bravo!
