"Unlike most big budget musicals, there’s something beautiful about this low-budget film. While it doesn’t provide for the most grandiose settings and visuals, it feels natural and grounded in realism. Nothing about each set piece or costume is forced or out of place. Every moment, location and background has been thoroughly thought out, giving it an independent feel."
