Critic Reviews
The Legend of 1900 is still fresh; like the dawning of a new age, it feels like an awakening.
Foggy allegories and misty metaphors.
There is one scene in The Legend of 1900 that is easily worth the price of admission. It finds the ship heeling in an Atlantic storm. In the ballroom Roth plays the piano as it moves and slides in an eerie waltz around the floor.
The sort of movie that both rewards and tries your patience.
There's a ton of joy in The Legend of 1900 -- but it's laid on so thick that one ends up more numbed than stirred, overcome by one too many Hallmark moments.
What could have been an insightful, irresistible movie is instead a simple, self-contained fable, pleasing to look at but meaningless
This one is often more interesting than involving.
Its protagonist haven't enough emotional substance to carry them through the long, darkly lit introspective sequences.
Careening wildly between fairy tale and drama it doesn't know when to call it quits.
A magic-realistic fable whose lows soon prove as infuriating as its highs are intoxicating.
It's a wonderful reminder of the importance of music in the movies.
A muddled fantasy revolving around a really good cruise ship piano player, doesn''t live up to its title.
