Very low production values. Was this a hand held Apple I phone video camera? The shots of the dancers taking ballet class was either a lower leg shot or an upper body shot. At no point could you see the entire dancer's body. And the ballet star Brandon was obviously not very good at ballet. His hands were very effeminate; unlike in another dance based low budget film "The Five Dances", where the two male leads danced in a refined manly way. Hard to get into the plot as the age difference between the two love birds was at least 30 years and destined to implode. I assume whoever hatched the idea for this movie was obsessed with bringing it to fruition. Unfortunately, it didn't succeed at delivering anything meaningful or interesting to watch.

Just 15 minutes of this tells the viewer to not continue! Seriously bad acting all round and a script that looks like it was filled with improvised dialog. Who wastes money to actually make rubbish like this? It's the kind of movie for which Imdb should have a negative rating scale!

Others have already touched on the major (weak) points. The acting, the script, the story... all pretty bad. Wish I had followed my gut feeling and bailed early on.
The progression of events don't always make sense, and the time travel aspect is confusing. I found it tough to know for sure until the very end whether the accompanist's family was alive, or not.
There is a supernatural aspect to the story, but I don't think it works. And to emphasize the channeling of celestial and metaphysical powers of the universe, there are interspersed scenes of the cosmos, with the camera whizzing by Saturn, Jupiter, and the stars. It seemed like someone accidentally edited in pieces from "2002 A Space Odyssey."
Here and there, you also see a beach. Very artistic.
In one (overly) dramatic scene the dancer and the ceiling tiles in the rehearsal hall come crashing to the floor. I thought it was an earthquake, but something tells me it was supposed to be other powers at play.
This film is an eye-roller from start to finish. Painful to sit through.
I'm sorry to say the goldfish just might have put in the most convincing performance.
And WHAT was up during the final credits!?
Not just the fact that we hear Ave Maria, but we have to sit through a seemingly endless series of family photos of the accompanist, his wife and kids. It would have made more sense to put those at the opening - or were they time traveled to the end?
I think we (the audience) were supposed to be blown away by how beautiful, profound and artistic the film is. Only it isn't.

Absurd storyline and premise. Why would a young dancer go for a 50yr old, then bounces back and forth to jealous boyfriend. The old guy is gifted with a special power, give me a break. We learn about boyfriend's upbringing towards end of film. The acting is barely tolerable, particularly the actor portraying Brandon. Sadly he's not even good looking to make it forgivable. The dramatic sound track at the end of the film is just so overdone. I fast forwarded several times, my curiosity for a better end was denied with such a disappointing close to the film. Really a complete waste of time.
