Astrid Thompson finally succeeds in fulfilling her father’s dream: to bring together four Stradivarius for a unique concert, eagerly expected by music lovers around the world. But Lise, George, Peter, and Apolline, the four virtuosos recruited for the occasion, are incapable of playing together. The rehearsals are one ego crisis after another. With no solution in sight, Astrid decides to go and find the only person who, in her eyes, can still save the event: Charlie Beaumont, the composer of the score.

Christian Science Monitor

Modest in scope, it ultimately conveys, at its best, the unifying joy that great music-making can inspire.

Rated: 4.5/5

Loud and Clear Reviews

The premise of the film is incredibly fascinating. It’s very rare to see classical music on the big screen, let alone with such a pivotal role in the narrative.

Rated: 3.5/5

Shadows on the Wall

Writer-director Gregory Magne creates a warmly involving film that's constructed like a symphony to rise and fall with musical beats. And it's thrilling to see a concert come together like this.

Rated: 3.5/5

Deep Focus Review

A gentle film, quietly amusing at times, and also moving in its passion for music and cooperation among artists. In that sense, it’s as much about the process of collaborative filmmaking as it is about musicians.

Rated: 3/4

Easy Reader (California)

An enlightening, charming movie that is sometimes as tense as a newly strung violin.

Louisa Moore

Screen Zealots

A quietly witty, elegantly composed film that will most appeal to lovers of classical music and French art-house storytelling. It’s not a broad comedy, and that’s exactly the point.
