I'm not sure what the low ratings are about, I think maybe you need to have experienced grief (or are currently) to appreciate. The time travel via music is a device to show how all encompassing and overwhelming grief can be. I think we all hope that we could go back to that one moment.... David, who wants to live in the now and deal with the practical parts of losing someone, is such a perfect counterpart to Harriet, who is drowning and isolating herself in every way possible. David sees music as a positive nostalgic experience, while Harriet sees it as a way to block out the world and live in her own version of the past. In grief, you contemplate what was real, what if you forget, and whether the grief was worth the experience of knowing and living. Music, like grief, is something we all experience differently - but we all experience.
