Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The direction from Polish New Waver Agnieszka Holland feels more like she's testing a new camera than attempting to capture the nuances of the artistic process, and if we're to believe the script, then all great art derives 'from the gut'.

Someday someone will make a great movie about an immortal composer, but for now the best movie about any Beethoven I've ever seen stars a Saint Bernard.

Always an intelligent presence on screen, Harris here embraces the challenge of showing us the man behind the wall of music.
