Movie Reviews of Vitus
Movie Review: Absolutely delightful !
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is absolutely delightful, even if you have to view it with subtitles. I'm fortunate enough to understand Swiss German and appreciate the various Swiss dialects spoken in the movie, which makes the whole experience even more fun. The relationship between Vitus and his grandpa is truly touching, like the scene where grandpa asks Vitus what he would like to become in life and Vitus answers he would like to become 'normal'. But too, the struggle of the parents trying to understand their gifted kid's problems comes across as entirely genuine. And even when you watch this movie the second or third time, you find wonderful delails you may have missed the first time around. Highly recommended even if you have to rely on the subtitles.Movie Review: conquering genius
Summary: 5 Stars
While many movies have wrestled with the subject of the child prodigy, often they succumb to the opportunity to present an amazing youth, hence another child winds up like an amazing trained monkey stunning an audience. Finally, a film has arrived that takes on the deep burden of talent with sensitive,out-of-the-box understanding. While fantastical, this story nonetheless captures the profound burden of genius. What this wonderful child does about his talent, that is to say, how he finally comes to terms with himself, is a deeply moving tale.A real pianist, too.

Movie Review: Vitus won us over
Summary: 5 Stars
Vitus captured our attention and held it throughout. For us, it was a wonderful film experience. I was delighted by the pianists and by the world & family that was portrayed. In a word, refreshing. My husband, the critic of all movie critics, watched it twice more before we had to return it (!). As an intelligent man, it was fun daydreaming fodder to imagine he had his investing and deal-making skills at age 12. For a picky family that buys a movie MAYBE once a year (though we watch many), this was our choice. I'm buying one for my mom, too.Movie Review: Great Film!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a rare film indeed. It's entertaining on many different levels. A bit slow at first, but then there are a number of small and big surprises scattered throughout the film that make you ask: "what's next?". Yes it's subtitled, but big deal; it's a foreign film. Yes, the ending is a bit too quaint. Too "feel good", but most of us like films that make us feel good. My wife and I loved this film the first and second time we watched it. Stop reading reviews and rent/buy this film. That's all I need to say in my review.Movie Review: Hervorragende (Excellent/Superb) Vitus!
Summary: 5 Stars
After watching this movie the first thought that came to my mind was, "This is like a German version of Secondhand Lions". The movies are actually nothing alike, but they both leave you with a very warm feeling inside and an appreciation of how talented the writers were - not only for the story as a whole but for the way both movies were brought to a climax and then "wrapped up". I rate my own movie collection on a scale of 1-10 stars, and very few movies earn a 10. Vitus was one of them.
