Moviegoers are saying
This Ralph Fiennes-led period drama about classical music and WWI has viewers split between those charmed by its earnest British sensibilities and those finding it painfully predictable. While Fiennes delivers his trademark compelling performance, audiences note the film's distinctly 'made-for-TV' quality and suggest it's perfectly calibrated for older viewers who will overlook its formulaic approach.

James Pritchard likedThe ChoralAn interesting watch on the medium screen in Chichester. The older audience enjoyed it more than the younger and it did feel like it was produced by the BBC - slightly outdated and certainly British.

It's far from a poorly-constructed movie, but the tonal issues and refusal to invest in its strongest personalities make it a frustrating watch.

This is a historical drama with a handsome enough period setting and a couple of pleasant musical moments but whose roteness keeps it from resonating.
