Audience Member Huh? This isn't Coda- the best picture winner? I can only assume any better review then 2 stars was the victim from some mass delusion caused by alien mind-control-rays being beamed from their mother ship now that they can use the James Webb Telescope as I kind of reflector. BORING. There is scant dialogue and there really isn't any story. Why is it every time a movie is shot in the Alps they rave about the scenery? WhoTF cares about That? I'll watch a Nat Geo doc on the Alps. The Music? Uh, ok, it has some parts of scores of classical music. Again, I'll listen to that on my phone if that's what I'm in the mood for. Some yahoo said it was Melancholy? Hahaha This is a Meh movie- love both the leads but there just isn't anything worth wading through to get to something meaningful. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/07/25 Full Review Theresa M I watched it because it stared Patrick Stewart. But this movie was so disappointing. Not sure why Katie Holmes character got so enthralled by this old piano player. Not a lot of dialogue. The piano music at times overshadowed the minimal dialogue. I don't feel like we ever got much insight into any character. I am not sure what the purpose of the movie was. I think it was trying to be philosophical and based on Nietzsche philosophy. I kept thinking there was some point to this film. But I guess you needed to be a big classical music fan to appreciate the soundtrack. Boring movie. Waste of Stewart's talents. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/25/24 Full Review Douglas G This is the story of the classical pianist who grapples with stage fright. He's helped by a young reporter from the New Yorker magazine. Themes from Nietzsche's philosophy structure the film. There is a little dialogue. At best, you could call contemplative. At worst. youcan call it slow, moving, especially during the last half. Nietzsche's philosophy gives no meaning to life, despite the film's tropes on that theme. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/23 Full Review Daniel P A dark, even bleak film. Poignant. But great performances, beautiful scenery and a fantastic score. When you are ready to handle melancholy, this is the film for you. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/16/23 Full Review David C (Life With Music - UK) A sombre, and considered study of a Pianist at the end of his career, who is coming to terms with varied life events and the passing of time, mostly being explored by way of an Interview with a Music critic and lifelong fan. Its wistful prose and exquisite recitals aren't enough to elevate this to the heights it hopes to reach Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review ellen j A visually beautiful movie that reaches for profundity and doesn't achieve it. A little too leisurely and indirect for my taste--as if the director is afraid to offend the audience's delicate sensibilities. One tragic event that could have added texture and vitality is so attenuated that the viewer can barely tell anything happened.
