From here, there’s an obvious way a film by John Carney — who previously gave us sweetly uplifting rock musicals likeOnce,Sing Street,andFlora and Son —might proceed. The typical Carney path would lead to an unexpected partnership yielding renewed hopes for both men. But this is not that sort of John Carney film. Monthsafter Rick and Danny’s hang, Rick is out shopping, stressing out about the£90 a new pair of shoes is going to cost him, when he hears “How to Write a Song”echoing through the mall. It turns out Danny, desperate for a hit to appease his impatient record label (and to impress his girlfriend), finished Rick’s tune and passed it off as his own.

“I Move On” isn’t an entirely terrible song — it’s just kind of pointless. The jazzy ballad about living life on the edge and protecting your dreams by never staying in one place is an almost shockingly bland sentiment for a movie about murderesses using their notoriety to become stars. When you really listen to the song, which is quite short lyrically, you’ll find it isn’t really about anything that hasn’t already been expressed in the rest of the musical, and it’s full of clunky analogies and weird lines about “shotgun blasts” and “truckin’ down the road of life.” Is this Catherine Zeta-Jones or Bruce Springsteen? Unsurprisingly, the only place in the movie the filmmakers found for this dud was over the credits.
