5.0 out of 5 stars The Struggles of An Artistic Family & The Search For Independence and Identity

This film touched my soul in so many ways. The complicated relationship between family members, the pressure to live up to parental expectations, and the trauma it can cause were highlighted in this beautiful film. It was beautifully shot, delivered strong fulfilling performances, and showcased beautiful music. I thoroughly enjoyed Rachel Ann in the lead role of Jacqueline. She delivered a multi-layered, fascinating, and at times, heartbreaking performance. Veteran performer Bjorn Johnson was magnificent as Jacqueline's overbearing pianist father Lawerence. His acting chops were evident as he fully embodied this very complicated character. Finally, kudos to Catherine Dudley-Rose who wrote and masterfully directed this piece. She is a truly talented filmmaker.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nuanced Twists on a Time-Tested Tale
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2019

“Parallel Chords” is an elite manifestation of the time-honored tale of a young protégé forced to a crossroads. Kudos to director-screenwriter Catherine Dudley-Rose for demonstrating the ambition needed to tell it with the texture and nuance it always deserved.

Actor Rachel Ann is Jacqueline Archer, a gifted young violinist struggling to please her virtuoso father while also yearning to carve out her own life. Jacqueline knows her dad to be esteemed within his niche musical community, but she's also witnessed his hard behind-the-scenes life; a dark byproduct of having sacrificed so much of himself to achieve world-class status. As his gifts fully manifest in his daughter, he knows no way but his own with which to drive results.

When this story is told by a major studio, its corporate tastemakers tend to require that the film’s protégé must either capitulate or rebel at a great cost. Refusing to be forced to that crossroads, Dudley-Rose has Jacqueline exhibit a more nuanced, holistic response, and one closer to the truth that we know from our own experiences. In demonstrating this deft balance, “Parallel Chords” excels in breathing its own unique life into a very time-tested storytelling vehicle.

4.0 out of 5 stars Struggling Artist's Journey
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2020

At the core of this gut-wrenching drama is a father-daughter relationship desperately in need of repair, if not an actual intervention. But here it addresses a world that is often misunderstood and seldom revealed - that of classical music training and the uniquely skilled sensitivity required in the instruction of children, some beginning their instruments as young as five years old. In this case a violinist and her famous pianist father. But make no mistake, this could just as easily have been about a young gymnast and her trainer or a young dancer and her back stage mother. Beneath all the great music and the tumultuous emotion it's important to remember that the music being interpreted by children in training was in most cases composed by mature artists from another age and often times old enough to be the young instrumentalist's grandfather. I like here that the young violinist, played wonderfully by Rachel Ann in her feature film debut, kept her love of music alive by experimenting with other forms of music, seen here as an act of sympathetic rebellion to her father's overly disciplined concert world. Give this indie film a watch. All the festival awards well-deserved.

5.0 out of 5 stars A universal father / daughter story
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2020

Parallel Chords weaves together multiple time lines to tell the story of a young woman being pushed into a life she's not sure she wants. From the opening scene you feel like you're entering the life of a real family, and I loved the two actresses who played Jaqueline - the little girl was especially charming and lovable!
You feel a sense of nostalgia as time passes; Jaqueline grows up admiring her musician father, but once she's old enough to play with him she feels the pull of the outside world and curiosity about alternate paths...similarly you can tell that the father misses the simplicity of her childhood. While the film uses music to highlight this relationship, it's a universal struggle that all children / parents feel, especially fathers and daughters. The reserved performances, moody lighting, and beautiful music aid in creating this atmosphere or longing. Well done!

Parallel Chords drew me in when I saw a number of film festival laurels and that it won several awards as well. It always helps a bit to see that kind of recognition first when taking a chance on a new indie film. The film is definitely deserving of its honors as it presents an intriguing story of a violinist and her overbearing musician father. I'm a big fan of films like Whiplash, but Parallel Chords still manages to offer something new and fresh to the genre. The performances are quite good in the film and I've always been a fan of Bjorn Johnson (who I'm currently watching in Counterpart). Parallel Chords is definitely worth a watch.
