Featuring outstanding performances and making excellent use of its scenic New Orleans locations, the film handles its delicate subject matter with a deeply affecting emotional restraint.

It's too bad that a movie so lovingly steeped in music hasn't more rhythm and flow.

3.5/5

While Adams does not always skirt every potentially melodramatic pitfall cleanly, the cast and the music always propel the film forward.

The whole thing is held together by performances that are superb across the board, Adams' assured direction and delicate, beautiful work by both director of photography Tom Lembcke and composer Carlos Jos Alvarez.

"Of Mind and Music," an intimately told story with few characters, surprises with unexpected impact, thanks to the talented cast and the powerful dual forces of music and human kindness.
