I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I was completely disappointed by "Plainsong". It was a badly-written screenplay and thoroughly depressing movie from start to finish. Two young boys find a dead lady they're working for, and also get abducted and stripped by drunk high school jocks. These lucky young lads also happen to be mothered by an mentally ill woman, who also, by the way get left at a complete stranger's house to spend the night, only to be abandoned while asleep: nice, real nice. Their Dad's not much better (Aidan Quinn, where has your career gone dude?), he's getting ready to date all of the town skanks before the divorce papers are written. He's also is a crappy teacher, nice touch. Add the pregnant teenager to the mix, a 17 year-old who runs off to Denver with her abusive boyfriend only to get drunked up and puts her unborn child in danger, and this is what passes for family entertainment these days??? I can't believe Hallmark put their name on this load of manure. Look, I like a disturbing tale as much as anybody, but they usually have a plot, and don't have the name "Hallmark" associated with them. My wife and I watch Hallmark movies because they consistently are some of the best family entertainment available on television. Not this movie, not by a long shot. A special guest appearance by William Hung couldn't have butchered this "song" any worse.

This is a gentle, low key story about a pregnant 17 year old girl whose mother rejects her, and the people who rise to the occasion and care for her. It's very well cast with America Ferrera (the young actress from "Real Women Have Curves) as the girl, Aidan Quinn and Rachel Griffiths as the high school teachers and Megan Follows (Anne Shirley from the wonderful Sullivan Films production of "Anne of Green Gables") as Quinn's wife. It was lovely to see Marion Seldes on screen again too. The story is predictable, but the writing and acting is lovely. If you like gentle dramas and very real characters, this made for TV (Hallmark Hall of Fame) movie will be worth your time.

The movie Plainsong was unlike any other movie I have seen. It was very good. Even though it was set in the country, I found a liking for it. Since it is a Hallmark movie though, some things that would probably be in a motion picture were taken out so the movie could keep it's Hallmark quality. America Ferrera played a role unlike any other that she has been noted for, and sweet Anne of Green Gables' Megan Follows, plays a character totally opposite of Anne. Overall the movie was very good, If it was more descriptive and showed more things, then I'm sure more people would have cried other than just me. I loved the movie a lot and I am going to buy it on DVD. If you would like to buy it, just go to any Hallmark Store near you.

For a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, I was very disappointed. It wasn't up to par w/the other movies Hallmark produces. I felt there was a lack of character development & too many stones were left unturned. I felt like the viewer had to "assume" things about the storyline. There never was a clear explanation of details, which could have been pertinent to a good plot. Speaking of plot, there were just too many rollercoasters of storylines running throughout the movie; which led to an unanswered, unexplained end to the movie. I felt like there should have been "more". Lastly, I don't think the title of the movie had any relevance to the movie @ all.
