~ An anticipated followup to the director's surprisingly engaging feature film debut around a tricky premise, making it an intense watching experience purely based on the masterful performances of the two leads with passion and dream pushing on their character's actions while making the whole story relatable enough for the newcomers of the jazz music scene
