The Accompanist is a heartbreaking film about a 9 year old girl who lives with her grandfather, who suffers from memory loss. One day she is abruptly removed from her home by a child welfare agent. She is placed with Sylvia, a very quirky older woman.
I absolutely adored the young girl, played by Everly Carganilla. I hope we see her in more films in the future. Sylvia is played by Susan Sarandon, who was tremendous in her role.
This is a movie about grief, connection, and trauma. I cried and I laughed. While this was quite the heavy movie, it was also very moving and had some good humor. I definitely recommend it.
