Music, War and Love

6.5 stars rounded up because it had many good qualities. Presented in the style of a 1950's movie with little violence and without cartoonish Nazis which some may object to. Do not misunderstand, no love for Nazi hatred and violence here. I liked that the movie showed that the Polish resistance began at once and that there were Germans and military officers who opposed Hitler and his plans.

The movie fell short for me in being too unrealistic and having a confusing timeline. We jumped from the invasion of Poland and getting the family settled in a hiding place to spring 1944 with little indication of what was happening to our characters and the escalating danger for all. Everyone always seemed to have clean clothes and the ability to get to the next destination with no issue.

Having said that, I enjoyed the music and thought the actors did well with what they were given. It was a pleasant diversion with some history thrown in.

Great movie, romantic, interesting, and very moving. Great music by the composer Kaczmarek. War shown from a different angle, love and music in the background. Such films should be produced!

This story was very touching and obviously the backdrop is incredibly important and powerful and has been and deserves to be retold over and over and over because of its historical significance and cultural relevance.

My issue here was in the execution - too many things that simply did not make sense or were far too overreaching . I also have a huge pet peeve in movies where people speak English with accents when they should just be 1. Speaking the native language in this case Polish or 2. Just speak English without an accent - what is the point of the accent ??? That's a general criticism of all movies that do that .

Secondly I did not feel particularly connected to any characters and the acting was subpar. Thematically it had some good power and I was entertained - but there are SO many incredible Ww2 movies I would pick something else .

Haven't seen such a good movie for a long time. The music is impressing and gives the feeling to the story. Adelaide Clemens acts superb.

This movie is showing value of love, friendship and passion to the music.

Today the war in Ukraine showing us how this value are important for humanity. The war is only tragedy. Did we learn something I strongly recommended to see this movie with families children and adults.

Nice music.
