Reviews
“A rousing mix of new and old, with the irrepressible Buckley seizing every song as if born to it.” – Sandra Hall, Sydney Morning Herald
“Watching films for a living can leave you jaundiced, but every so often you sit up in your seat and are moved to tears by an actor’s raw, unadulterated talent. This is one of those moments.” – Paul Whitington, Irish Independent
“Buckley is terrific, giving her character layers upon layers, and the music by Jack Arnold is toe-tappingly good, even if you are normally allergic to C&W. All in all, you’d be Patsy Cline crazy to miss this one.” – Alison Rowat, The Herald (Scotland)
