This film is a not a hidden gem but more of the el dorado of movies. For those of you who dont know this movie is about a conductor who ends up working in a school after his career as a conductor doesnt work out and this film follows the conflicts he has such as does he choose the children he teaches or his own family. The acting in this movie is great and all the charaters are relatable. This film is like i said an emotional rollercoaster and with all the ups and downs it feels like this film is portraying and actual life.
The only negative i can think of is that
The film is quite lengthy but every single milisecond of that 2 hours feels like theyve had passion and care put into them.
This film is for those who want somthing that is bold and different
