  Joan Tewkesbury’nin senaryosu, geri planda, asıl konuyla bağlantı kurmak derdinde olmadan politik bir hikâye atıveriyor ortaya, böylece Vietnam Savaşı’nda atılan yanlış adımların ve yozlaşmış Nixon hükümetinin gölgesindeki Amerika’nın kendisini yeniden keşfettiği süreçteki tekinsiz atmosferi solumamızı sağlıyor. Film, politik mevzunun gelişimi içinde, “Country Müziği ve Western” manzarasına en iyi bakışı sunuyor ve 1970’lerin, Amerika metaforunu bitirip tüketen son filmi olduğunu kanıtlıyor. Yayılıp giden, dağınık, benzersiz bir tarzda çekilen, öyküselliği olmayan film, müzisyenler, menejerler, politikacılar, reklamcılar ve müzikseverlerden oluşan 24 karakterin, Nashville’deki koşuşturmacalı beş gün boyunca yapıp ettiklerini enfes bir tarzda gözlüyor.

  Beautiful Thing is a year in the life of Larry Keel. The film follows Larry and The Larry Keel Experience as they canvas from coast to coast, playing night after night in search of bigger and better crowds during 2002. Audiences range from a handful of disengaged people to standing ovations at world-renowned bluegrass festivals. Larry Keel remains somewhat obscure to audiences because his style, his interpretation of bluegrass and roots music is so personal that it is almost impossible to define, and subsequently, it is almost impossible to market. So Larry battles on, night after night, city after city, slowly generating a following of true believers, fans who sit and stare and smile in awe of this beautiful thing. Beautiful Thing is a glimpse into the life and spirit of a true artist, during his many tours and performances of 2002.
