I mean, it's not *that* dull, but... it's not that amazing, either.

Rating: 6/10 (26 February 2019)

The long (nearly 3 hours) biopic is good, even very good, but it'd be nothing if not for F. Murray Abraham's amazing performance, just extraordinary. He's worth your time, even if Tom Hulce turns out not to be your cup of tea. F. is so good that even those who don't dig classical music will get into the groove; he's that passionate. The movie's also artfully framed by Forman, with some exquisite cinematography and, of course, compelling music.
