Sulle ali della musica

Christanne de Bruijn impersonated Antonia Brico in a perfect way. This movie is powerfull and emotional and gives a complete image of this time (1926-1929) and position of women. A film about perseverance and romance.

I'm writing this review, even if it feels like I'm still digesting it..

On one hand, it is impressive all it manages to tell in the span of 2 hours! The movie almost feels like a TV season.. when some movies barely say anything at all with more. On the other, some of its messages feel muddled.. some of its parts don't accomplish much! Parents, romance, difference in classes, women rights, societal perception and self acceptance, progress, etc etc. And you cannot remove them as everything chains together somehow (and removing the "mother" plot would deprive us from its best joke)! And as you are telling the entirety of someone's life (which doesn't seem to be entirely faithful to reality), everything is somehow necessary.

And while it has some VERY memorable lines and an excellent speech.. other lines of dialogue feel like they don't match the acting/scene. For example, the forceful relationship with the male lead or the caricature of her "mother".

Still, it is an interesting premise with a well-defined core. I love learning about the workings of little systems in society (for better or worse), and the frustration of it all (intended purpose) is carry throughout the entirety of the film. Beautiful sights, excellent colors and production, good acting (Muck and Robin), and musically satisfying.

I still enjoyed it overall! Even if some frustrating interactions could have been better written.

But easily recommended to anyone interested.

Aside from the current 6.9 rating, I hope it gets much higher rating, the story itself is already amazing, there is depth in this story, bring the viewer's view of how a women become an outstanding musician conductor and characteristic itself is very reasoned. yeah, maybe there might be some subtle scene there can be improved, but i couldn't find any, i just find that the actor, the story, the lightning and the dramatic moment is well composed and serves its purpose.After finished watching it, it strengthen my point of views, everything serve a purpose but, there must be a beneficial meaning behind it which lead us to eternal success, i think most of us tends to give up because reality make us live in fear, but it is because life is about suffering so why not try to enjoy it and live in a meaningful ways of live.😂

It is not fair or easy to say why it is a beautiful film. Sure, the rights of women, a self struggle, the noble dream, sad love story, real case are good pieces but not the most important. Something else give force and energy and beauty to this film. Maybe, the acting or the script or the cinematography or the aura of realised dream. It is not important. Significant remains the feeling seeing it.

Women and men should learn from this film. Following passion through all to get to your goals although everybody, women and men, condemn you. Made for an Oscar
