Great film

Rating: 8/10 (2 December 2007)

I went into this film not knowing what to expect, but left feeling overwhelmed by the fantasy script intermingled with great music that has classical scores mixed with modern alternative ballad rock style composition. The actors could portray the depth of emotion required by their characters, specially the lead role of the musical genius prodigy played by Freddie Highmore. The script could have done a bit better but then hey, it's a fantasy - so one has to remember that it's for entertainment. You have to watch this one at the movies to enjoy the fine elements of the music composition in the film. All in all I would strongly recommend this as a must watch for people who believe in the power of music and hope.
