By Bob Bloom “The Song of Names” offers an intriguing premise that is undercut by its convoluted presentation. The movie starts in London in 1951, flashes back to 1939 and forward to 1986, with various stops in between. It’s a movie about the healing power of music, the bonds of brotherhood, the devastation of loss and faith — lost and rediscovered — all told against a backdrop of an odyssey that journeys from London to Warsaw to New York and back to London.
