It’s very fun seeing a movie that loves being a musical but has to contend with the fact that the story is about a boy who doesn’t want to play music. The sets are fantastic and the clear influence from European film makes for a world that is worth exploring. I do feel that if in the end he learned to enjoy piano in his own way that it would have become a stronger film overall, but I guess we can’t have everything
