critics consensus

Song One has plenty of earnest charm, but that isn't enough to overcome its slight, familiar story. Read critic reviews

Audience Reviews for Song One

  • Jan 25, 2016
    I couldn't get into it. I watched most, but it's very long and slow moving (actually it's not long at under 90 minutes, but it feels it). It's not bad as such, but I was bored.

    Predictable with questionable acting in places, especially from the big names. But the excellent folk soundtrack and soundtrack in general makes up for it.
