As a music lover, I had a great time

Rating: 9/10 (12 March 2008)

I watched this movie on the plane, hence some of the magic was lost on the poor headphones and crappy display, but nonetheless I loved this movie. I intended to watch it for Keri Russell at first, but was surprised by the theme which hit a nerve with me.
Like another reviewer said the movie does require the viewer to be willing to believe in the magical powers of music in order to be engulfed. It took me on a wonderful journey throughout and made me realize how interesting classical music can be.
However, if you abhor orchestra music and don't think that there are any supernatural power in music, I strongly urge you not to waste your time on this movie. The plot would become really thin in their absence.
