Sparks, she pointed out, knows “how people think and what makes them tick. It’s a part of the process that I really love.” Robinson worked with Sparks to shape the project: “When I was in theater I worked a lot with writers and on new plays. When she came on board in May, “Song’s” screenplay was in the early stages and Cyrus was attached. So the possibilities for working with actors and getting them to emotional places was the main thing that attracted me.” “My strengths as a director lie in getting great performances. Why was “Song” right for her first feature? His effort to reconnect with her is through music, the one thing they have in common.īefore coming to Hollywood, Robinson directed for London theater companies like the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Royal Court and the National Theatre as well as for the BBC and other U.K. Set in a small southern beach town, “Song” is about an estranged father (Greg Kinnear) spending the summer with his teenage daughter (Cyrus), who’d rather be home in New York. “Then we started prepping the movie,” Robinson explained, “and he went away and wrote the novel.

However, I think some merits are to be found: first, the idea of portraying a love story between two mature people, which is not so common or easy nowadays.
Indeed, you cannot find anything except what you expect to find: romanticism and drama together, through dialogues and situations which you may have heard in thousands of romance/dramas.
