This movie really moved me as I can't stand heights and my heart rate went up hugely as I watched the walk as it was so realistic. Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who speaks French fluently, was very good. The direction and cinematography were brilliant.

I liked the movie as it dealt with Beethoven but I think that Ed Harris was wrong for the role of the composer. Despite being an English language film I think casting an American as a German is wrong. However, the scene featuring the Ninth Symphony premiere was magnificent.

I love watching Jennifer Lawrence in any movie as I think she is a great actress. However, I have to say I think Darren Aronofsky is a little too bizarre as a writer although quite brilliant as a Director. I found the storyline quite unpleasant and I'm unclear what message, if any. the writer was conveying. Was it a parody of Christianity? On the DVD is a documentary of how the movie was made which was very interesting. Lawrence and Bardem were superb as they always are.
