Three Chords and the Truth is an Australian Indie movie about singer/songwriter Angie (Jackie Marshall) who was once slightly famous – now living in the burbs and trying to finish off her last album whilst struggling to make ends meet.

Heading towards the end of her life due to a terminal illness, she strikes up an unexpected and unlikely friendship with young teenager Ruby (Maisie Owens) who has run away from home due to difficult family circumstances.

The movie hits a familiar chord across a few fronts covering themes such as the poignancy of love associated with your family, and the beautiful connections made with people along the way during your life.

Based on the real-life story of singer/songwriter Jackie Marshall (with the character of Angie acted by Jackie Marshall herself), Three Chords and the Truth is a touching movie that explores the topic of what matters in life including being true to oneself.

It also explores with heartbreaking reality the ups and downs of life, and that of losing our loved ones.

The two main leads were outstanding in their roles, with their on screen presence being just right as their friendship developed over the course of the story. Fun moments were shared between the two as well as some serious stuff.

The movie moved along at a nice relaxing pace as each of the main characters shared their story from their own unique perspective.

Director and Writer Claire Pasvolsky has created a magical debut feature film with a feel good vibe as a tender story is told.

Three Chords and the Truth opens at Luna on Thursday 5 October.
