John von Rhein

What emerges is a far more accurate, complete and endearingly human portrait of Mozart than any documentary has ever painted. Read full review

Jeremy Eichler

Most of the color and zest among the movie's many talking heads comes from the refreshingly irreverent opera director Jonathan Miller. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

An adamantly linear, myth-busting stride through a prodigiously talented life. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

Made to mark the 250th anniversary of the composer's birth last year, In Search of Mozart is challenging and exemplary. Read full review

J.R. Jones

Milos Forman's "Amadeus" (1984) is so ingrained in the popular imagination that its portrait of Mozart may never be dispelled, but this thorough and insightful 2006 documentary presents a more rounded and compelling view of the high-spirited genius. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

The overall effect is that of a deferential video you might find at a Mozart museum: educational, but not exactly inspiring. Read full review

Joe Leydon

A beautifully lensed but ploddingly paced tribute. Read full review

My favorite soprano singing my favorite composer. What can be better? Renee is such a unique and charming person. The warmth of her voice never fails to melt my heart. Must have 100%.
