I saw the film and was not real impressed- sorry!
The plot and general tone of the movie was kinda a "made for TV" type level. The ending was especially weak. But YMMV, as they say. I'm sure many folks will enjoy the movie.
One thing I always enjoy in films like this are all the old instruments, cases, recorders, etc. In the studio scenes, Ray and the background singers sang into U47s. Lovely! But after a while, I realised that the shock mounts used with the 47s were not from that period, though they are very simaler to the original article. Also, the mic clips are setup with quick-releases that AFAIK, are more modern devices not yet invented in the 50s and 60s. Am I right in this (admittedly small) detail? Can anyone tell me when those quik releases were first invented?
