A Musical Delight

Rating: 9/10 (1 May 2020)

Tom Hulce is wacky and sensational as composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in this stylish and enormously popular biopic. F. Murray Abraham delivers a flawless performance as the envious rival Antonio Salieri. Of course it takes liberties with history, but that is what a movie is supposed to do. The music throughout is a such a treat that you don't want the story to end. ---from Musicals on the Silver Screen, American Library Association, 2013
