Movie Reviews of The Chorus (Les Choristes)
Movie Review: heaven
Summary: 5 Stars
Les Choristes is the best film I have ever seen. It truly is magnificent. I am a musician myself and adore music, and so this film was especially touching for me. The singing is wonderful and Jean-Baptiste Maunier, who has the main part of Pierre Morhange, is absolutely stunning. Words cannot describe his voice. He has shot to world fame through this film aged just 13 when it was released, which is unsurprising, and so has the choir that he used to sing with (Les Petits Chanteurs de Saint-Marc)who are the choir singing in the film. As a result of this film, I have discovered a love of France and the french language, and of choirboy singing. It also improved my french tremendously. I have bought the soundtrack for the film, I listen to it a lot, and I have rewatched the dvd many times. I even follow the news of Jean-Baptiste Maunier and listen to other songs he has recorded. I love this film, and I urge you to watch it. It will touch you and change your life.Movie Review: A Must Buy!

If you live in an area where this movie is not showing in theaters, you'll have to wait for May 3rd to purchase the DVD. $20 may sound like an investment without even having seen it. However, it is worth every penny! I do not know anyone who has seen this movie who was not profoundly moved by it. Many describe it as "the best movie (they) have ever seen" and even saw it several times at the theater.
The plot is universal and profoundly touching: it is about childhood, happiness and sacrifice for the good of others. Think about "Dead Poets Society" with a music teacher and a surprising twist at the end, which will leave you open-mouthed on your seat long after the credits have finished rolling. The music is the most beautiful piece I have ever heard, even though I am not a choir music fan.
It is not because it is a French movie that it has to be intellectual and boring. Buy it, watch it, pass the word around!

Movie Review: I love this movie...
Summary: 5 Stars
During the school year my honors french class watched this film, but I ended up falling asleep (a lot like most of the other students).
About a week ago, after reading all the great reviews that "Les Choristes" recieved on this site, i decided to call my french teacher up and borrow the movie from her. I've watched it about 6 times since then lol; i love it. The story is very appealing, and at points very very funny. If you're a singer, like me, you'll definently love this movie, the singing is truly incredible and give you a huge appreciation for the beauty of the french language. Jean Baptiste Maunier (Pierre Morhange) is really gifted, his singing gave me the chills (especially the high note at the end of "Caresse Sur L'Océan"), the rest of the cast is also great.
I highly recommend this movie, it's one of my favorites & will be in my collection for a long long time.
Movie Review: On Key!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film reminded me of the school where I teach. Many of the teachers are former actors, muscians, writers--from a world of few jobs, in other words. Their students, of course, are the beneficiaries of these "failed careers." As for Les Choristes, what I liked is that the film is simple--a simple story simply told--and, to me, in these fancy-dancy times of special effects and cinematic tricks passed off as high art, such simplcity is refreshingly beautiful. Another thing, I liked was the hero. He wasn't the Hollywood version of good-looking. He was just as plain as could be, a normal human being. He had a heart. He gave strength to those around him. He even had a romanctic side to him. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie with my family and if you're looking for a family event, this could be it. Except for one short exchange of off-color dialogue, the movie is as "G" as it gets.
