As Jack cautions Ally just before she is about to appear on a high profile show: “… you don’t worry about why they’re listening or how long they’re going to be listening for. This is conveyed by the conduct of music label executive and Ally’s manager Rez Gavron (Rafi Gavron). It’s a study, as well, of the other side of fame, especially in modern times when artistic integrity often capitulates to marketing pressures. Even as her career begins to skyrocket, demons from Jack’s past pull him further and further down.Īlly’s transformation from a waitress and bar singer into a pop star is the soul of this romantic drama, coupled with Jack’s desperate efforts to overcome his weaknesses and ailments. In turn, she becomes his support every time he collapses in an intoxicated heap. He’s smitten and soon gives her a platform to showcase her music.
