If the arts are what is a part of what it means to be human, this movie captures this--WITH A PASSION. When I went to hit "play", I was in a pretty happy mood. This movie managed to bring me to heart-felt tears 11 minutes into the movie. What film manages to do such a thorough job in such a short amount of time? And then, once that point was reached, knew what to do with story then.
(after watching the rest of the movie:)
Very nice film with a sweet ending--a comedy that needs a tissue box at the beginning and the end, and they were sweet tears at that. And the music award is well deserved!
I thoroughly recommend this movie!

"If I Had Wings" (2013)
For a "simple" story, it has a quite a number of little themes that work together for one solo story line with two faces. Even the resolution in the ending has a nice "big smile" quality to it.
The various themes or facets touch on who you make friends with, relationships across classes, across disabilities, delinquency, reputations, bullies, and reacting to bullies (and not just from the main characters--the reactions are "true" in that there is a variety--not just polar).
And the story didn't seem forced in anyway.
I enjoyed this movie and felt it a good watch. And while not as complex as others, it is complex enough, and it carries it out well.
