Indie Gothic Goes Southnew
This film enjoys a setting drenched in signification (New Orleans), accomplished photography and several rich personalities. But it never gels. Primarily, it can't rise above two major weaknesses: a plangent, plaintive script and the inadequacies of John Travolta.

A Love Song's first half hints that New Orleans drains the life of its dead-end populace like an Anne Rice vampire, but the film becomes a trite and simplistic postcard from the city, fatally weighed down by John Travolta's calculated slumming.
