A deep, meaningful, wonderfully directed, brilliantly acted movie! I will never forget this movie, ever. It is for those of us who prefer art over frivolity.

Geoffrey Rush has a fan forever. The first time I watched this, I was on a Rachmaninoff kick that's never ended. This film deserved every award it received!

Every time I've watched this film, I've had to watch it again soon after, often immediately. I can't say that about anything else.
