Tony nominee Eva Noblezada ('Miss Saigon,' 'Hadestown') makes her film debut as a young Filipina country singer in the Texas-set 'Yellow Rose.'
Just who is country music for? Anyone for whom it strikes a chord. In last year’s rousingstar Jessie Buckley and director Tom Harper made the argument that a Scottish lass with a rap sheet is as outlaw country as they come. In Diane Paragas’ debut feature, “Yellow Rose,” the filmmaker asserts that the heartfelt tales of love and loss found in country music are best expressed by a young Filipina in Texas illegally, Rose .
Rose lives with her mother Priscilla in a motel where Priscilla works as a maid. One night, Rose sneaks out with her friend Elliot from the guitar shop to see country star Dale Watson at Austin’s legendary Broken Spoke dance hall. When they return,is dragging Priscilla out of their home to be deported. Suddenly, Rose is rootless, adrift, surprised to find herself an outsider in her own home state.
The film — and Noblezada — hit a stride and find a sense of flow, making for an affecting portrayal of a young woman finding her footing against all odds, and claiming her home in a nation that makes it unduly challenging. “Yellow Rose” is infused with a deep love and appreciation for the music culture and history of Austin, a place where Rose just makes sense as a singer, songwriter and storyteller expressing her true experiences from the heart.
