Stephen Cole Globe and Mail Mozart lovers will be intrigued but dissatisfied. Rated: 2/4 Dec 17, 2010 Full Review Joanne Laurier World Socialist Web Site The film is colorful and lively. Mar 4, 2021 Full Review Don Groves sbs.com.au Operatic tale is Amadeus-lite. Rated: 3.0 Dec 29, 2010 Full Review Liz Braun Jam! Movies It's all terribly Masterpiece Theatre, slow and beautiful, only with more seduction scenes. The music, the costumes and the breathtaking cinematography (courtesy of Vittorio Storaro) will keep you happily engaged. Rated: 3/5 Dec 17, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Thankfully it isn't a pure opera. Still, it isn't delicate enough in narrative/writing. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member A wonderful watch full of exquisite music and shows a side of Mozart's life that isn't so commonly known about Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Otra recomendación para melómanos. Aunque había leído sobre la vida aventurera de Da Ponte, no había atado cabos. Esta película fue una sorpresa muy agradable. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I became a bit interested in opera for the first time in my life through this film!!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Only if you are seriously into Opera... and cheesy acting Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Un film envoûtant, rencontre de trois personnages charismatiques(Lorenzo da Ponte, Mozart et Casanova) créant une oeuvre grandiose. Des acteurs excellents, de la romance, une belle mise en scène, multilingue et pleine d'idées, tout ça sur fond d'une superbe musique! Du grand art!
