Renée Zellweger looked so drop-dead gorgeous at the premiere of My Own Love Song at Tribeca, that I had to do a post devoted to her.  She is perhaps one of the most photogenic subjects I ever shot (running close to Drew Barrymore).

Love Song, however, is about more than Renée Zellweger.  From Tribeca Film:

Olivier Dahan broke into the U.S. when his last film, La vie en rose, won two Academy Awards®, and now the writer/director is boldly stretching his talents stateside with his first English-language independent feature. Under Dahan’s inspired direction, an unassuming story about an ex-singer blossoms into a whimsical down-home road movie. Jane (played memorably by Renée Zellweger) and Joey (Forest Whitaker) couldn’t be more different. All they have in common is solitude and a mildly contentious friendship. She is a hardened wheelchair user retired musician, and Joey is an endearing oddball out of step with the daily grind. When Joey learns of a secret that Jane harbors he convinces her to embark on a cross-country trip to Memphis with the hope that she will face her past. On their trip, they stumble upon a bevy of fascinating characters who begin to peel back the layers of Jane’s tough exterior.
