The most underrated and moving picture of the year

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2007)

I went into August Rush with a lot of skepticism. How could a boy find his parents who gave him up for adoption simply by listening to the music and sounds around him? I was extraordinarily mistaken.
Freddie Highmore excels as August Rush, a boy who follows his heart and seeks the one thing he is missing in his life: family. Keri Russell, Johnathan Rhys Meyers, Robin Williams and Terrance Howard provide an ensemble cast in the most moving experience I've had at the movies in a very long time.
In a box office year of threequels, CGI and pure garbage, August Rush is an amazing fresh breath of air.
