Perseverance pays off

I loved learning about Andrea Boccelli's life and am inspired by him, and admire and love him very much. The acting was very good, and Antonio Banderas was fabulous.

I was only disappointed with the fact, I am Italian and this was in English. The Queen's English spoken by Italians is dreadful and unnatural. I would have preferred English subtitles.

The most unnecessary hate for a movie I've ever seen

I'm not a fan of opera, and I don't know if I ever will. But this movie still had emotional moments, good acting from certain characters, and a great soundtrack (probably the best part). So why does this have 0% on Rotten Tomatoes?! It's honestly understandable if you didn't like this movie; there are actually a lot of flaws in this movie (some 1-dimensional characters, bad acting from most characters, etc.) but a 05 is a bit overdoing it, imo. But honestly, it's just a website. It's a decent film, imo, and an even better film if you enjoy Amos.

The sound of real silence

I don't understand some critics including those from magazines like Variety. Okay, this is not an arthouse movie, not even a mainstream one, but the story of a famous singer told in this way for better or for worse. In my opinion, a film that tells the story of the famous singer avoiding any exaggeration in a simple but correct way. This is what matters most of all. A movie to see.

Silence to Save a Voice

Good story of the discovery of Andrea Bocelli, his youth, the "formative years," and his rise to music fame. There are gaps in the story, so we don't get everything that gets him from one place to another, but we can read between the scenes.

Blind prodigy

Music Of Silence chronicles the life of world famous opera singer Andrea Boccelli, from his beginning as a singer in Italian piano bars to his phenomenal success on the world stage. The film features magnificent panoramic scenery of Boccelli's native Tuscany and a superb musical score, as well as, first rate performances by a fine cast. It is a must see for fans of Boccelli, and opera music in general.
