When this came out at the theaters I didn't go to see it despite the accolades it got - it seemed like it would be a chick flick to me.

But I caught it this weekend and IMO it was a very good movie. The thing that really blew me away was the music - those songs by Stobrod and Georgia were haunting.

It is a chick flick, but fantastic.

Loved it. Really well casted and the music is wonderful. I honestly wish Jack White would act more, I felt like he crossed over well.

Thanks for posting the link. I tried to find some of the songs on YouTube but the soundtrack seemed to be all Allison Krause.

The Alison Krauss stuff is good as well. Just some good ol' fashioned Bluegrass.

That's some great stuff. To be honest I've never been a particular Bluegrass fan but some of these are awesome.

Looked like a 2.5 hour chick flick but I guess now I have to give it a try

Loved the book, really enjoyed the movie, and frequently listen to the soundtrack.

There are few works with this trifecta.

Funny, did you know this was a "banned book"?
