      Variety Staff Variety A must-see motion picture for music lovers, an enriching experience for family audiences, and a particularly compelling attraction for social security eligibles. Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Bosley Crowther New York Times Anyone moved by musical richness and pictorial splendor should go quite nutty over this film. May 9, 2005 Full Review Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine Most of the venerable Hollywood clichés about the night-thoughts of musical geniuses are doggedly repeated, and some of the concert-hall excerpts are annoyingly brief. On the whole, though, it's an item worth seeing and hearing. Oct 29, 2019 Full Review Steve Crum Video-Reviewmaster.com The great music is THE thing in this musical biography. Rated: 4/5 Mar 23, 2008 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Jul 26, 2005 Full Review Geoff Andrew Film4 History is bunk, and the conception of creative genius as half-baked as, say, a Ken Russell film, in that it's purely love that makes the music flow.

      jimmy b You'll wish this song would end. It's great for insomniacs who will soon fall asleep. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/23/24 Full Review StephenPaul C The greatest 02 hours: and 25 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/07/23 Full Review Roger J Not good history... liberties taken by screen writers. Good performance by Bogarde. Outstanding piano recitals. Was Liszt really as nasty as he is portrayed? That said, Liszt was probably the best pianist who ever lived. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review steve d It was also a film that felt like it wouldn't end. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The great music is THE thing in this musical biography.
