David Moreau supplies a different Wolfgang than the one we remember so clearly by Tom Hulce in "Amadeus". He is younger, rounder-faced, more angelic, more childish.

He is younger, rounder-faced, more angelic, more childish. As he and his sister have a pillow fight, all of the mystique evaporates from the notion of being a "great composer." Through some happy chance, the child and man who created such bountiful music in so many styles and fashions was motivated by sheer enjoyment of the gift he had been given. It is one of those lives that makes you wonder at the glory of men. Not so much at the opportunities of women.… Expand

I did do the dreaded FFWD stopping at places to see if it picked up, but no luck. The father was strong but others just fair.… Expand

It's a good movie, but it just plods along at too slow of a pace in it's second half for me to give it a higher score. Marie Feret is outstanding as Nannerl Mozart - she can absolutely carry the film.

Marie Feret is outstanding as Nannerl Mozart - she can absolutely carry the film. It's a very subtle piece of art - nothing clubs you over the head . Her brother Wolfgang is not overplayed, and her parents are not extreme in their denying her artistic opportunities. These are facts of life for women of the age. It simply could have used a bit more drama to the viewer in, but I, nevertheless, admire the work.… Expand
