Grace of My Heart

Newly Added • 1h 55m

Directed by Allison Anders • 1996 • United States
Starring Illeana Douglas, Matt Dillon, Eric Stoltz

Loosely inspired by the life of Carole King, this buoyant homage to the golden age of American pop music follows the personal and creative journey of Denise Waverly (Illeana Douglas) as she goes from failed singer to successful songwriter penning hits for other artists across the shifting sounds of the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s, along the way drawing inspiration from a string of messy relationships and gradually finding her own voice. Featuring songs by Burt Bacharach, Elvis Costello, and Joni Mitchell, GRACE OF MY HEART is a warm, affectionate celebration of creativity and vision.
