Set in a small Quebec town in the late-1920′s, this emotional drama follows the life and exploits of Celeste Beaumont, a talented young pianist who gains local celebrity at the town movie theater for her gifts as a silent film pianist. Awkward Pierre Blaudell is her biggest fan and eventually marries her. Shortly after this she bears his son, Pierre, who joins the army. She insists on joining him at the base and his meddlesome, snooty parents insist she give them her son. Pierre is killed in the war, and Celeste flees to New York where she finds steady employment as a jazz pianist. She finds a life-long companion with a black musician and chronicles her experiences in a diary that she passes on to her son after he grows up. Her son becomes a painter and once his own son, Antoine, is grown, reads him the story of Celeste, the youth’s grandmother. Intrigued, Antoine heads to the Big Apple in hopes of finding her.
This movie is an emotional drama about how Antoine, played beautifully by François Méthé, discovers the details of his heritage. This film won many awards in Canada and at Cannes in 1988. François Méthé, who was about 11-years-old, never acted again after this movie.
From IMDb:
A quiet painter, separated from his wife for a year, receives a suitcase in the mail from his mother, whom he hasn’t seen since infancy. He believes she abandoned him to his wealthy, paternal grandparents. The suitcase contains mementos and a diary, a long letter to him, written over the years, with details of her youth, her first job as a pianist at a cinema, the coming of talkies, her marriage, and how he came to live with his grandparents. As he reads through the materials and her story comes to life, his son Antoine, who’s about 10 or 12, tries to break through his father’s silence and sorrow by taking matters into his own hands.
歌曲真好听，这么老套的剧情也舍不得倍速看。
情人节档期，希望用一部浪漫言情片可以往一汪死水般的中年生活里扔几条活鱼。看完吧，情感共鸣不多，歌曲都挺好听，不过依旧是挺老套的剧情，很多增进感情的桥段也蛮无趣的，全程就靠男主女主的表演来控场了。其实这就是诺丁山一般的剧情，但是好莱坞已经不会拍了，小失望。
大失所望。作为圣诞剧，剧情cliché不是你的错，但是做到如此僵硬和甜度稀薄就是你的不对了。
无聊、尴尬、烂俗，跟同类型的诺丁山比实在太差了，男主怎么会这么没有魅力啊SOS
对标去年Kristen最终只在Hulu亮相的《最幸福的季节》以及Hallmark Channel从前两年开始邀请Jonathan Bennett等人试验性的出现，“工业糖精”式的圣诞电影果然也要把每个群体一网打尽。从《丑女贝蒂》开始，就殷切期盼Michael Urie小可爱有大作为、有单人发光的作品…如今他都40岁了（雪地里笑起来都有皱纹TAT…），也总算等到了；但愿这不是终点，也要打破每个屏障。【不过最惊喜的选角当属《富家穷路》“Jocelyn”Jennifer Robertson！】
生命止于至美，对完美型人格男主也算得其所望，女主则达成自我和解，也算happy ending
三星半。挽救了一下我那个寂寂无聊的周五下班后。
JLo还是还是很有舞台魅力hhhh剧情没什么想说
这么说吧，看到一半有人退场。
颜值崩得厉害……故事有点老套……但谁让他是爱情片呢……

年纪大了 其实偶尔看下剧情俗爆的电影也挺羡慕的
大臀珍又把《曼哈顿女佣》翻出来炒了一遍，这次变成了男版灰姑娘。
剧情虽然假了点，但是居然是我近期为数不多全程没有倍速看完的电影，毕竟真的有很多好听的歌曲。
去年同志题材的圣诞速配比这个好太多了……这个唯一的看点就是luke macfarlane……可惜外网年轻人都不认得他 大概因为他代表作兄弟姐妹有点老 = = 很多人没看过
Soooooo stupid. Jennifer Coolidge is the only highlight, and tbh I don’t know why she agreed to do this movie. Answer: the gays are “obsessed with me.” 5/10
我想知道都谁投资的？JLo这个卡位真不至于吧？还在接这种戏？剧情莫名其妙且无比俗套，那合唱简直让我看到了凤凰传奇，要不是好久没去电影院了，死也不能看这个。
J.Lo没毛病 歌唱的好 巨星范十足 男版灰姑娘的故事 童话梦还是要有的 威尔逊的鼻子是咋了？感觉跟整形失败了似的
…女主长得好像Eileen Gu
总体上说很不错很感人，但现实与回忆的转场有一两个比较乱。凯儿·艾伦是有点帅
