One of the best feel good movies

In today's world, it's easy to get caught up with all the negativity that swirls around us.

For a positive antidote to much of the negativity that exists in the world, you can turn your attention to this uplifting film.

It's not necessarily a spoiler to say that this is a beautifully directed film, with talented musicians and an uplifting end, but it sure is a welcome change of pace.

Enjoyable feel good movie!

I was looking for a movie that would be good for the family. We all enjoyed it, I would definitely recommend it to other families. We even noticed several actors from other films and TV shows. Good film!

An odyssey

In one day Josh follows Charlotte, as both prepare for a music competition. The music is played live on set and that is key to viewing this movie. Passion for music is personal and different for each person. The same passion can corrupt one musician, but complete another. There are many beautiful moments in this movie, but the thing that drives the drama is how damaged lives can produce artistic expression. The characters are believable as they interact with their instruments and each other. A toy band with friends evolves to a duet/duel. Idols/mentors/parents appear to change as a janitor cheers from above.

"Playing with Beethoven" A Beautiful Film

I absolutely loved "Playing with Beethoven" (Jenn Page, Writer/Director). This is an inspirational story and wonderful film about life, love, music and more. The actors and actresses in both leading and supporting roles were superb. The storyline wonderful. The music was everything you wanted and more. This is a "date night" movie for guys and gals of all ages, and an anytime movie for everyone. Truly a must see film. Hooray that this movie proves that Independent Filmmaking is very much alive and well.
