I thought it had too many holes for me. I wish the story could have been told in a more believable fashion. For example, the kid just picked up the guitar in less than 1 day (more like 5 min) and was unbelievable. I know what a prodigy is; however that just does not happen. He also learned how to write music, without ever learning any music theory. Not to say it can't happen, but it takes more than 10 min. to know how to write and to memorize what a C note is. Idk, I don't want to seem like a douche which is how it comes off, but being a musician, these little things annoyed me. Again not to say special gifts like this don't exist, but even Beethoven learned what a C note was, Right? I thought that if they just spent a little more time establishing and creating the musical side of August it would have been more believable. Lastly, the last scene just seemed so farfetched that I almost shot myself. They all knew who they were, without even speaking. "Oh hi, I haven't seen you in 10 years (and have only spent one night with you) but I found you, hold my hand, and oh by the way that’s our illegitimate child, who I didn't know about until a month ago (mother) and dad well SURPRISE!"

that they would have showed Lewis, the mother and 'august' talking to each other at the end. But the end was fantastic and a tear jerker for sure.

the way he played the guitar like a drum was amazing
