Grace Of My Heart (1996)


A young woman (Illeana Douglas) navigates her way through the male-driven world of pop music in the 60s on her quest to express herself as both a singer and a songwriter.

I've wanted to write about this movie since the blog began, but was continually holding out for a great high-quality screen-shot to accompany my piece. As you can see, no such shot exists. And I guess that is a reflection of the fact that people either don't know about or remember this movie. And that's a real shame because this film is AMAZING! The music is catchy, the actors are superb, the period details are spot-on and to top everything off, it tells a beautiful story about overcoming adversity and following your dream. I know this sounds weird coming from a fella, but seriously this movie is touching. Now go watch it! It's not hard to find. You can get it as a disc from Netflix or you can rent it from Amazon for a mere $2.99. Get on it people!
