soundtrac. Richard Dreyfuss makes a simpathetic high school music teacher ì
whose real ambition is to compose a great American Symphony. But the film is ì
over-reliant on its soundtrack, over-long and predictable." DFA *** The Star ì
March 13, 1996
"Mediocre film about a school teacher who dreams of compsing a symphony. it ì
lacks emotional charge, even though it plucks shamellessly at the ì
heartstrings." Derek Wilson *** The Argus March 23, 1996
"Richard Dreyfuss does a star turn and ages several years, earning an Oscar ì
nomination. A treacly, feel-good tearjerker, the film is about a teacher ì
whose life-consuming passion is to write a piece of music that will leave its ì
mark on the world. Don't take tissues - take a sick bag." Andrew Worsdale in ì
Mail & Guardian May 3rd, 1996
"Episodisch erzähltes Melodram mit der Tendenz, die emotionale Anfälligkeit ì
des Publikums zu überstrapazieren. Ein Film voller falscher Töne, in dem nur ì
der Hauptdarsteller einen Hauch echter Menschlichkeit vermittelt" ì
