Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Kirpianuscus the beauty of costumes and music. the touching story of a great and obscure sacrifice. Marie Feret as lovely Nannerl. and Wolfgang as secondary character. important is not the historical accuracy or the legend's proportion. but the atmosphere. it is only a film about a little known biography , well made, nice to beautiful, recreation of a myth in new therms, seductive for the details and for the new perspective about a well known subject. a film about art and about a life in shadow. a film about success and about the truth. proposing a new hero. special for be not usual drawing portrait of an admirable woman. that could be all. or just the beginning for the viewer who rediscover the Mozart family in different light.

Rich Wright Stop me if you've heard this one before: Mozart, that legendary impresario, had an sibling who actually helped write a lot of his early work, and got precisely no credit for it... due to the sexist society at the time. She was also a brilliant violinist, but was forced to play the harpsichord by her father as the violin 'was no instrument for a lady.' Meanwhile, everyone mooned over her brother, the 'child prodigy', leaving her completely in the shade. In fact, a lot of what she could have achieved she didn't thanks to the patriarchal beliefs back in the 18th century, and by the sound of the epilogue she had a pretty miserable life after she gave up on all her hopes and dreams. Nice.How much of this has a basis in reality I don't know, but I suspect there's a fair bit of airbrushing of history here. What can't be denied though, is this is a well acted drama of family ties and unfulfilled potential, full of wonderful classical music and handsome costumes. This is strictly a placid affair... You're not going to see any fireworks going off, and some people may find it all a bit too stagy. But Nannerl is a captivating lead, and while her story might not be 100% accurate as depicted here, it's well worth investing the nearly two hours to discover it. And isn't that really what matters, at the end of the day? 6/10

Mr. Vultfre Half way through this film I started considering it as a student film that had some decent financial backing. The main lead who played Nannerl had little in the way of facial expressions and often stood around like she had been directed to stand around. The actor who played Leopold Mozart, however, was mostly effective in his portrayal of a man who believed in what he was doing, and believed it to be the best for his son and his family. The dialogue (as it was translated) was mostly without much flare, and the music score seemed to fill in the emotional gaps that neither the dialogue nor the acting was putting across. Direction fell flat most of the time with simple side-profile shots. The script itself seemed to give no indication as to where the film itself was going, as though the writer had determined that the basics of Nannerl's life was already known, so all they had to do was write some scenes around that - for me, this script just did not work. The idea that Nannerl was being eclipsed by her brother, though it was present throughout, never felt like a driving force that pushed the film forward and was a constant influence that determined Nannerl's emotions and feelings. As a result, every time a climax (with accompanying string motifs) arrived on screen, the film felt like it was preparing itself to end... and then would go on.This isn't the worst film I've seen, and it wasn't joyless to the point of leaving the cinema; it was just simply quite boring, and non-involving for the viewer (me). I wanted it to end during several climactic moments but it didn't. Definitely far too long at 2 hours.

hawktwo I saw this at the FilmFest DC in April 2011.The story was complex on so many levels: the wonderful family relationship of the Mozarts as they travelled around Europe. The strong feminine influences; the strictures of society that allow the older sister's intellect to waste away; the daughters of the king who were locked away in isolation.The costumes were authentic without being overly lush.The relationship between the young Wolfgang and his older sister was quite touching.The growth of the lead actress from barely a teen to a woman accepting her fate was written (all within a year or so) and acted very well.There was an interesting subplot with the king's daughter that showed the two girls/women accepting the same fate albeit at different levels of society.
