The film had generated decent buzz in the Sundance Film Festival with a heartfelt performance from Saffron Burrows. It stars Isaach de Bankole and Saffron.

The trailer is not something really much to talk about. I think they got the whole idea behind the story totally wrong. The film is about a woman who finds out she is dying and then lives like there is no tomorrow cause there is none. She begins to learn how to play the guitar and sort of rocks out.

Synopsis

One morning Mel, a mousy, harried New Yorker with a thankless job and an even-less-appealing boyfriend learns that the tumor in her throat is cancerous; the diagnosis is terminal, so it seems that both her job and her relationship are kaput. Rather than lying down and dying then and there, she embarks on an endless spree, the kind of self-indulgent wish fulfillment that we have all fantasized about.

The film is directed by Amy Redford who is having her feature debut with this film.

The multi instrument composer Davie Mansfield has worked as a session musician with the likes of such luminaries as Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Lucinda Williams, Victoria Williams, Loudon Wainwright III, and many others, but everything we can hear this trailer leads us to believe this is uplifting, cheesy rock fromage

The film will come out in limited release on November 20 th. So I hope to catch it then.

Here is the trailer
