Ok, so I'm a professional musician, 8 years studying formally at the national conservatory in Chile, also I have a PhD in education (so the extreme training is double lol), and I can say with complete property, that this movie is utter rubbish. Come on people! What's with the hype....this is made for non-musicians just to exploit a ludicrous vision of how study music at high levels is...Russian ballet dancers or Olympic gymnasts might have been like this...although in the 80's and earlier!!!, but this movie is actually just plain idiotic. Don't waste your time, I actually just watched it because my girlfriend wouldn't watch The Princess Bride (1987) hahaha.
