A Perfect Chord

About a high school student who loves music and composes lyrics as well as playing the guitar. Although she (Cadence) has a special talent and a beautiful voice, she only is able to sing or play for her best friend and refuses to display her gift before an audience, even for her parents. The movie is about her severe phobia, and her loving parents and devoted friend's encouragement and her and their frustration to move on from on early childhood incident where she froze, had a panic attack and collapsed at a church talent show. It takes all her courage, and a deep inner realization too that her struggle and her talent will help others to get her to even begin to try to to face her phobia.The movie is fun, funny, and true to life. I say this because I used to be a perfectionist and was afraid to perform, write, or share until I learned to accept my best effort even though it was not usually perfect and move on. I had to learn to trust myself and love myself despite all my imperfections. The reason I enjoyed this so much was that it showed how a loving and honest family and friends like that too let us see ourselves through the eyes of others who love, care for, and believe in us. That viewpoint often ends up being more realistic and revealing than our own.I also enjoyed "A Perfect Chord" because the story-line, acting, and character development of the main actors was excellent and a welcome relief from the negativity and hopelessness that often seems to surround us in current events and the discussions of today. The movie provided wonderful examples of how we find our purpose, meaning, and joy in life and follow it. Too many of us find it very difficult to find the mentoring and caring relationships we need. The struggle of Cadence to find herself is difficult to watch at times, but her struggle actually encourages her friends, family, and many other classmates to engage in that difficult, but often rewarding and life-changing struggle on their own.

The acting might be a bit on the unprofessional side, but the movie makes up for it in cuteness. Our whole family enjoyed it and it inspired a couple of my musicians to continue seeking to grow in their music. Overall good family movie.

I wasn't watching this expecting Oscar worthy performances, and there aren't any. I enjoyed the music, both girls are talented musicians. Production is the usual Christian film variety: over-reliance on close ups, and weird shot framing choices. Thankfully at least we don't get close ups of nose hairs and pores. The message is ok, "being yourself" is always a good message. I liked that both families were actually supportive of the girls and their angst was mostly in their own heads, finally something more realistic. The failures of this film are also mostly message too. It's extremely annoying that the Julliard girl is concerned about Christian/Worship music "not being serious" when you'd be living under a rock to not know how huge and money oriented that music scene is. Please as a request, no more movies feeding the "poor persecuted Christians" fear complex rampant in the US Church. No we aren't persecuted, we aren't in danger of our lives, or livelihoods for being Christians. Get over your fear, like in this movie, it's in your own damn heads!

Inspirational and spiritually nurturing, the lyrics are very good and would not be surprised if some professional talent do covers of many of the songs written here in the near future. Cinematographically could have been a little better; the continuity lacks the seamlessly of the blockbusters, the lighting and photography are, at times, something to be desired.But the film has fire and it's highly motivational, that is something that many of the big studio films haven't got and its shortcomings can be outgrown by its director who, this time, can add a feather to his hat. A Perfect Chord is a plausible and delightful movie.

It lifted me up and reminded me I am a child of God. I should share my love for him with everyone.

About tremendous courage and faith.I watch this when I need to strengthen my own courage to perform!!

Legitimate, appropriate entertainment. Don't worry about it not having an MPAA rating, that's just something that costs the producers extra money. This would be great for youth group viewings, provided you can obtain a public performance license. I was so impressed with this movie that I bought the "A Perfect Chord" single from the soundtrack and 3 copies of the DVD. I also looked up the film studio and it looks like a promising outlet for a new generation of Christian productions.

I really wanted to love this movie. I liked the message they were trying to convey and was hoping it'd be something our family could watch together. The acting is along the lines of high school drama club. They try really hard and they're almost there, but just can't make it look professional. Kinda like when you watch locally owned businesses film their own TV commercials. The message of faith is also lost somehow. If I hadn't read the synopsis to know what it was supposed to be about, It wasn't until almost the very end to notice any christian characteristics. It was really slow and dragged on and on. The rest of the family got bored watching, leaving me to finish alone.

A great story how to over come your fears
