(Vogue) 9:30 tonight from the Hollywood Reporter

After almost shooting his brains out in New York and injuring only an ear, a young, struggling classical musician retreats to a dull life in a small Maine town.  He works at the family cafe until a beautiful young woman on her way to the big city drives into his life and stays awhile. 

The feature debut of writer-producer-director David G. Kantar, "Henry Hill" stars Jamie Harrold ("I Shot Andy Worhol," "Erin Brockovich") as a gifted, shy violinist who finds the courage to face difficult truths about his past and overcome an acute case of stage fright.  With encouragement and romantic attentions of friendly gal-on-the-loose Cynthia (Moira Kelly) to make it all worthwhile, Henry overcomes his rocky start down the road to fulfilling destiny and eventually brightens up the lives of his worried family.

Is it inspiring?  You bet.  Is it compelling cinema of a high quality crying out for wider exposure?  Now, there's a gamble because "Henry Hill" looks to be of limited interest at best.  Nothing much happens in the 82-minute U.S. indie that hasn't happened before at lease a few times in the tortured-artist genre.  Still, Harrold, Kelly, and the supporting cast try very hard to put this one over, and they achieve some success when the movie is at its most playful.
