One of the most insightful and wrenching portraits of the joys and tribulations of being a classical musician ever filmed.

GUTSY, moving, provocative, intelligent and thoroughly grown-up, Hilary and Jackie is one of the best movies of the year.
Jonathan Foreman, New York Post

A superb biographical account of the tragic life of cellist Jacqueline Du Pre and of the complex relationship between her and her older sister!
