Movie Reviews of The Chorus (Les Choristes)
Movie Review: More than adequate!
Summary: 5 Stars
I feared this film might be trite or, worse yet, too cute. Fortunately, it avoided those pitfalls, which almost surely a British version would not. The French style of realism and honesty made for a more complex, true-to-life film, one that ends well but without the burden of a "perfect happy ending". At a few places I found it a little difficult to keep track of the characters, and perhaps the school director was too selfishly evil, but not enough to ruin the story of an unlikely hero inspiring ordinary kids to be more. It's a very good film!Movie Review: The Most Beautiful Movie of 2005.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is right up there with the greatest of French movies. I've seen it 3 times and every time is just as satifying as the first time. I bought it for my partner too, and it was a good investment. If you don't have DVD player [I bought a combo VHS & DVD player yesterday] then invest $200 in a good one. I am sorry I didn't buy one sooner. Get the DVD of this one. The sound is great! I am a sucker for boys' choirs and this one delivers! The score is original, so it is NOT bogged down with dreary religious music and lyrics.Movie Review: Most uplifting, you can't help but be moved.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was fortunate to catch this film this past weekend and was enthralled. The reviews were mixed and I'm glad that I ignored the so-called 'Critics' who were less than flattering in their reviews of this wonderful film. From the start of the film to it's uplifting ending, the acting was superb. But the main highlight was the music, and the emerging joy and hope in the children as they discover something so wonderful within themselves. By all means, get the film and also the wonderful soundtrack. You won't be sorry.Movie Review: Sweet
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this a sweet, gentle film, beautifully filmed and with a gorgeous soundtrack. I'm not a great fan of foreign films but this one could touch most hearts in any language. There was pain, hope, angst, disappointment and joy, and all in the right amounts. Does anybody but me remember the days when there was decency and concern and a time when it was ok and not uncommon to have a fatherly concern about someone, without ulterior motives? Just me then?
A lovely film.
Yours,
Baby Cromwell
Movie Review: Wonderful, moving film
Summary: 5 Stars
I will not write a synopsis....others before me have already described the movie very well.
I loved this film. It was exquisitely done and just perfect in every way. There was not a false note -- everything about it rang so true: the students and their behavior; the wonderful music; the caring ways of the music teacher, Clement Mathieu. That he could instill hope and coax such beautiful music out of those poor, abandoned boys was nothing short of miraculous.
Don't miss this one!
