Dieter F 10/16/2024 Bland, far from historic truth and overall not worth anybody's time. Listening to Beethoven's music, played by a decent orchestra, is a much better way to spend your time, money and thoughts. See more 12/26/2020 the next time they will invent a woman around Tesla life for his inventions haha , pathetic ! they should make a great film about real great women like Marie Curie and her inventions with her own rights, instead of narrating senseless fake tales ! See more 12/18/2020 One of my favorite cinematic tropes is when an artist debuts a shockingly original piece of music, like Buddy Holly at the beginning of the 1978 biopic, and audience members are in such a state of shock they do double takes—as numerous people do here during the first performance of the 9th Symphony, a shaky cam sequence (and the best scene in the otherwise middling melodrama) that takes up a hefty 25 minutes, or a full quarter of the movie's runtime. Happy 250th Birthday, ol' Ludwig Van! See more 01/31/2020 Though flawed in historical accuracy in coming up with a fictional amanuensis to Beethoven, the earthshaking fifteen-minute long enaction of Ninth Symphony is the centrepiece of Agnieszka Holland's interpretation of the maestro's last days premiering the masterwork, tortured by deafness and abandonment. See more 08/28/2019 Why do we have to invent strong women characters when there isn't historical evidence of them? See more 07/23/2019 Disgustingly sexist movie. Demeaning to women composers everywhere. Especially when Beethoven asks Anna to wash him, and she agrees. My God. And worst, that she "does not understand" his Grosse Fugue at the end. I could go on...watched this with a male friend - reading this, David? I hated it. But was too polite to say so. See more Read all reviews
