I very much enjoy the dutch vocal music of the 1920's and 1930's, which could've been a decent part of this movie. Sadly, overall this movie is just not that interesting. The stage songs are rather generic and "Telkens weer" feels incredibly out of tune with all this, because of the over the top production quality. Not weird with the song being released as a single, but also not helping the movie's pace and flow. Asides from that the whole story is rather predictable from start to finish. It's hard to be empathic with Sien and Jan Meier, since there isn't much depth to their characters. Everything just kind of happens and nothing really stands out.
