Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

A deeply Catholic youth movie, this has a very straight cello student moving in with her boyfriend, a gifted pianist, forgoing mass, and ending up pregnant. Meanwhile her fella neglects his studies, takes a demeaning job and starts drinking heavily. That's just for starters: the wages of sin are abortion and a stolen grand piano - and I'll surely be damned straight to Hell for daring to venture this competently observed movie plays like a set text.
