    • Quotes

      [opening lines]

      [voiceover]

      Helen Morrison: Nietzsche famously said that without music, life would be a mistake. German philosophers tend to exaggerate. But he did have a point. I know that without music my own life would've been incomplete in some fundamental way. Like if I'd had no friends or no memories. I even tried to be a pianist for a while until I realized just how fragile piano playing really is. Especially in front of 2,000 people.

    8/10
    Wonderful film about the power of music, but not for everybody
    I loved the film which shows the power of this music to inspire others. Patrick Stewart plays Henry Cole, an aging concert pianist, possibly modeled on Alfred Brendel, dealing with psychological problems interfering with his performances. Katie Holmes plays a young writer for the New Yorker who wants to write a profile about Henry.

    In addition to great performances by Stewart and Holmes, the minor characters are superbly done, especially one of the staff of a hotel in Switzerland where Cole is staying.

    If you don't love classical music, particularly the music for solo piano by Beethoven, Bach (and many others) don't bother with this film. Even if you do love this kind of music, you might find it rather slow.
