There’s no reason why “Unfinished Song” (titled “Song for Marion”
elsewhere) should work. It’s schmaltz with more than few derivative

where casting is the utmost importance, with stars Terence Stamp,
Vanessa Redgrave, and Gemma Arterton making the most of an impossible
situation, infusing heart and soul into an otherwise artificial
experience. Simplistic, but blessedly so, “Unfinished Song” is only out
to warm up its audience, inducing tears and smiles as three actors keep
the production palatable despite its serious lean toward a manipulative
disaster.
