Oh, yes. I loved the music, but it's almost impossible to go wrong with Bach and Schumann.

It's a simple, gentle tale that pulls its audience in almost imperceptibly; by its end, you just might be blinking away unexpected tears.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

A good example of making the differences work for you. Deep down, this is a film about childhood dreams and the determination to make those dreams come true. With such a positive message, you can't help yodeling on your exit from the theater.
Marta Barber, Miami Herald

There are some likable elements to this unusual, erratic, ultimately frustrating film.

The more sentimentally inclined in the audience may even feel like applauding.
