In the first 15 minutes, we have to deal with the life balance of a struggling musician, the mansplaining of the weakness of liberal talking points, the appeal of marrying for health insurance, the affordability (or lack thereof) of medical treatment in the U.S. You can put that breathy version of “Sweet Caroline” right into the garbage.)Īs for the film itself, Purple Hearts does Carson very few favors in terms of its overwrought plot construction and tired dialogue that spends half the time coming straight from a 24 News Network teleprompter. (And while I am a humble film critic, I can’t say I was too impressed with her chops as a singer either. Like many characters she has portrayed over the years, Carson’s Cassie seems to lack emotional depth and bothers herself more with being angry & dour more than developing a range that would be warranted to handle the myriad of emotional fallouts that happen in this film. Sounds like a perfect mix to show off Carson’s talents beyond acting and move her into more serious drama, right? While on paper that sentiment may be true, in execution however, her performance showed why she may not have received these types of opportunities to this point. Produced by Carson herself, she steps into the role of Cassie, a bartender/waitress struggling to get her singing career off the ground and struggling to get her medical issues under control. While not entirely successful, the movie did put Carson into leading role status and show off her skills as a dancer and performer But would Carson want to shed the Disney background even more by setting her sights on something more adult and dramatic? She reluctantly turns to teaching dance to a group of misfit kids and leading them towards dance competition glory. In 2020, Netflix tapped her to be the lead of Feel the Beat, a movie about a small town girl turned broadway dancer that has to move back home after an unfortunate audition derails her career. Over the past few years, Netflix has tried desperately to bring that dream to reality. Ever since her days on Disney’s Descendants, Sofia Carson has been searching for something to build on her breakout.
