You're either going to find this film sappy or poignant. Based on Dr. Oliver Sacks' "THE LAST HIPPIE," the film tells the tale of a father trying desperately to reconnect with his son after the son has a tumor removed from his brain.
J.K. Simmons performance is amazing. He should be used in every single film in need of a strong supporting actor. His talents are exceptional, giving emotional weight to each scene he's in. You can feel the pain and anguish he goes through as his son is returned to him as well as feel the guilt and anger that's built up over the years from their broken relationship.
Dr. Oliver Sacks is a godsend. Think of how many lives he's touched through his work with his patients. Think of how many relationships he's helped to repair. He's given hope to so many people. He can truly say he's made the world a better place.
Film has the power to heal. Unfortunately today, that power's been mostly forgotten. I applaud THE MUSIC NEVER STOPPED. I wish we could see more stories like this up on the big screen.
