Oscar® winner Anne Hathaway (Interstellar, Les Miserables) stars as Franny in SONG ONE, a romantic drama set against the backdrop of Brooklyn's vibrant indie music scene. After Franny's musician brother Henry (Ben Rosenfield, Boardwalk Empire) is injured and hospitalized in a coma following a car accident, Franny returns home after a long estrangement and begins to use his notebook as a guide to how his life has evolved in her absence. Franny seeks out the musicians and artists Henry loved, in the course of her journey meeting James Forester (Johnny Flynn), his musical idol, whose success and fame belie a shy and private man. As a strong romantic connection develops between Franny and James, the question becomes if love can bloom even under the most adverse circumstances. (The Film Arcade)

A romance that is styled as a dramatic story, where Anne Hathaway's brother, the film version of him, is in a coma, and she starts to realize how her life is going nowhere. And then, thanks to her brother in a coma, she meets her true love, all at an incredibly slow pace, with realistic acting, and general boredom.
