This is a story of a determined young single mother who as she takes control of her own life, inspires others, including her own children to accomplish amazing things. I love music, and this movie is very inspirational in every way. It shows what a little determination and hard work can accomplish in this life, against all the odds and against a system that is about to crumble. Great family movie. Great acting.
September 28, 2008 |  | An Excellent Violin Story |  |
This is a terrific story for violin lovers and students (or parents of students). It's heart-warming without being sappy, and chronicles a real-life Suzuki method success very well. You will see and hear unlikely kids practising all the same songs your own are working on. The acting is excellent, making it an entertaining movie for adults. We loved it.
September 17, 2008This movie is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is a touching, heartwarming story, and almost everyone can relate to something in the storyline.
September 15, 2008Being a music lover, I can feel the roles played n this movie. I love how the mother doesn't give up on her dreams to teach child, not to play music but to love music.I reccomend this movie to any muiscian.
July 22, 2008| | | An Awesome Story with a Majestic Ending | |
This movie is definitely worth the price, and it is one where the "good-gy" [in this case Meryl Streep] wins. I would say that it would help if you have a love of music, and for stories without the sensation and hype of some of the techno-adventures Hollywood cranks out. This story speaks to families, perevering in trial, and overcoming. The ending is splendid, and if you do not feel any tears welling up in your eyes, then check your pulse. This is definitely on my "must see often" listing, which is why I bought it. Interestingly, it is based on a true story. If you are a musician or love music, this is for you.
