One-Trick Pony is a good, very-well written piece of cinema that doesn't get the credit it deserves.
Paul Simon plays the role of the failing musician incredibly accurately, and this can be considered one of the greatest portrayals of such a character that exists. Simon's character is consistent with his real life personality - somewhat flat and disinterested but nonetheless thoughtful and professional.
The soundtrack, of course, is superb given that it consists of hits from Simon's solo career.
Other characters act well, such as Jonah's band, but it's the sheer accuracy of the storyline that holds this film up.
