A splendid breeze of a film, with the 160 minutes not feeling too long at all. The fact that none of the songs is familiar makes it easier to sit through the numerous musical performances, many of which are quite skillfully played and sung. A slice of life rather than a story, most viewers will have no problem appreciating Nashville on its own terms. The film holds up very well over time; perhaps being a superior presentation in another era, as a strict parallelism of the characters and events is no longer forced onto the film by its new generation of viewers.
Favorite scene: Keith Carradine (Tom) tells the "servant" to write himself a hit as he passes the guitar so as to make a phone call. The chauffeur rips off some very tasteful chords...he might very well have a hit!
