Jackie And Ryan
It’s a modest story of day to day life and struggle, simply stated and subtly performed against a soundtrack of Americana that’s as central a character as the two leads. Ryan Brenner, a travelling musician, and Jackie Laurel, a former singer at a crossroads in her marriage, meet by chance while Ryan is busking on the street. They share an immediate connection, but it’s fleeting, until a sudden accident propels them together.

A tender romantic drama about two music lovers who face steep and unruly challenges during hard times.

If a film based on author Nicholas Sparks' work is like an over-produced power ballad with a 128-piece orchestra, writer/director Ami Canaan Mann's "Jackie & Ryan" is the non-ironic acoustic guitar cover of the same tune.
July 01, 2015
Jackie & Ryan is a sort of low-rent Nicholas Sparks romance that, for want of a better way to put it, never generates any sparks of its own.
July 03, 2015
A romance of a gentle, bittersweet, grownup variety that doesn't pretend that every connection has to be a grand, sweeping, happily-ever-after thing.
July 10, 2015
There's a familiar tune to this modest low-budget romance about musicians who fall in love, yet it's given a fresh spin by a set of charming performances and a screenplay that generally sidesteps cliches.
July 04, 2015
The film feels like an uncomfortable hodgepodge of styles and tones - gritty and realistic when it's following Ryan, awkwardly staged when it's following Jackie.
July 02, 2015
"Jackie & Ryan" may prove too low-key and deliberately paced for less patient viewers, but distinct pleasures are to be had from this compactly shot film's easy rhythms, affecting tone and nicely modulated performances.
July 10, 2015
Sweet if unexciting love story about two musicians.
July 01, 2015
"Jackie & Ryan" isn't profound work, but it carries real heart and private moments of panic.
July 02, 2015
The section of the movie that should offer a climactic rush, however fleeting, feels instead more like falling action, or even a postscript.
July 02, 2015
It's refreshing to see a romance-even a slightly tepid one-that acknowledges and even embraces its transient nature.
July 02, 2015
You anticipate a cheap, sentimental ending. But it is not to be, and the movie is much the better for it.
