Quote:
"Real-life singer-songwriter [Tanya] Davis feels emotionally genuine and entirely atypical for a female lead. With her short hair and slight overbite, Davis's screen presence straddles the distance between urban hipster and furry woodland creature—in a good way. Much like the film itself [Heartbeat], the actress wears her heart on her sleeve then wipes her runny nose on it, offering the viewer all the human poetry of heartache, and all the goofy comedy of getting over it."
