FINDING YOU (2021) Graphic Review

Cara Buckley • May 15, 2021

SYNOPSIS :

FINDING YOU is an inspirational romantic drama full of heart and humor about finding the strength to be true to oneself. After an ill-fated audition at a prestigious New York music conservatory, violinist Finley Sinclair (Rose Reid) travels to an Irish coastal village to begin her semester studying abroad. At the B&B run by her host family, she encounters gregarious and persistent heartthrob movie star Beckett Rush (Jedidiah Goodacre), who is there to film another installment of his medieval fantasy-adventure franchise. As romance sparks between the unlikely pair, Beckett ignites a journey of discovery for Finley that transforms her heart, her music, and her outlook on life. In turn, Finley emboldens Beckett to reach beyond his teen-idol image and pursue his true passion. But when forces surrounding Beckett’s stardom threaten to crush their dreams, Finley must decide what she is willing to risk for love.

MY REVIEW:
“Finding You” is a film with many layers (perhaps, too many). Underneath its more obvious themes, lies a lesson about the power of prayer. God answers all prayers, but that answer is not always direct or instantaneous. Why? Because He knows better than we do. Finley has a plan at the beginning of this journey. However, that plan would deprive her of the journey, a journey she needs to improve her both her attitude and musicality. She must learn to appreciate her craft. God knows there is no better place than Ireland for such a lesson.

This is where she transforms into a fiddler.

Trust in God’s plan, even when it doesn’t make sense.
