The cinematic equivalent of a pretty comfortable but also rather everyday sweater. Go to Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) 06/25/2020

Predictable? Yes. Pleasing? Definitely. Go to Full Review Jack Blackwell One Room With A View 02/27/2019
4/5
A big-hearted and hilarious ode to the value of learning, teaching, and music. Go to Full Review Mark Adams Screen International 12/13/2017
The film's real energy comes from the rougher hewed scenes of the tough-talking class bickering and fighting, with a sense of documentary-realism sitting nicely with the more genial story of a glum violin teacher explaining the joys of classical music. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

05/07/2021 Leaves you feeling good. Good acting from the cast and kids are very good. See more andrea c 01/06/2021 Il film funziona molto bene sotto l'aspetto della trama, anche grazie alla scelta di girare alcune scene in cima ad un palazzo, molto azzeccata. Stonano completamente i dialoghi, quasi mai scorrevoli e poco sensati, sia tra i ragazzi che tra gli adulti. See more 04/27/2020 The story is very similar to that of THE VIOLIN TEACHER, by Sergio Machado (2015). However "La Mélodie" is much softer. See more 03/17/2018 2018-3-18 The kids were bullshitting in the restaurant was the part I totally don't understand. So confusing what the fun is ~.~ Love the sound of violin. I want to learn playing violin and speaking French. See more 09/04/2017 An amazing movie in Venise film festival... It's so moving, actors are amazing and it's film in a very subtle way... AMAZING !!!! See more Read all reviews
