Goofs:

Anachronisms: Near the opening of the film, Nannerl tells Louise that she is 14, almost fifteen. This place the action in the winter of 1765-66. While the character Louise says she is 13, the real Louise would have been 28 years old. In fact, the princess return to court from the Abbey of Fontevraud in 1750, the year before Nannerl's birth.

Highly recommended

I enjoyed the movie a lot. I was sad it ended. I enjoyed the clothing, acting, relationships, and the French. There was not much of a plot. The progress of events may not be to the liking of people supporting women empowerment --but again, this is a historical fiction movie.. I picked it because I wanted to listen to some Mozart music, but there were not much of that.

The movies gives a unique window to peek at how relationships among members of an immediate family looked like in 18th century France.

As always, I enjoy watching characters discover the talents of genius, and there was many such cases in this movie.

It is the first time I write a review of a movie here, and ten lines is lots of characters in these days and age!
