Music from Another Room is a 1998 American romantic comedy film directed by Charlie Peters and starring Jude Law, Jennifer Tilly, Gretchen Mol, Martha Plimpton, and Brenda Blethyn.

[1] On Thanksgiving 1973, five-year-old Danny Kowalski accompanies his doctor father Hank to visit family friend Grace Swan.

He finds a modest apartment owned by a bakery shop couple, who offer him a delivery job until the tile work starts.

The house is still inhabited by the Swan family, and before Danny leaves, he sees elder daughter Nina and the now grown Anna.

He tells his kind baker boss and his wife about the chance reunion, and they fill him in a bit on the Swans' story and what he missed.

Anna has grown feelings for Danny and one day rushes to his home to confess her love for him, claiming she lied and that the coin flip read "heads."

When Anna arrives home to tell her mother about her new relationship with Danny, she discovers she is too late and Grace passed away that night.

He ties up business at the tile site, making something special for the wall and covering Anna's name, which he had painted over his bed.

Danny says this adventure won't last but Anna holds up a regular coin and says if it lands heads, she will go with him; tails, she'll leave him alone.

TV Guide wrote, "A talented supporting cast can't overcome a formulaic script that substitutes a fast pace for inspiration.

"[1] The review continued, "The film starts well enough, with the scene of young Danny helping his father deliver a baby; but once Peters gets all of his quirky characters together, he doesn't seem to know what to do with them, simply bouncing them off each other for an hour or so until it's time to bring everything to its pre-ordained conclusion.

"[1] In the Chicago Reader, Lisa Alspector wrote "the only funny thing [in the film] is the unintentional parody of the conventions of romantic comedy and wacky-family stories.
