This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Based on previous comments and critical reviews, I went to see this movie. I expected to see a well made documentary about Mozart's life, a composer I love to listen to and whose home I have visited. I was very disappointed. There was nothing new in this movie that made me sit up and take notice. You might learn a little about Mozart's life if you knew nothing, but taken as a whole, I was unimpressed with the details that were presented. You could not get emotionally involved with this genius by watching this movie. The presentation in many respects is unfortunate. Interviewees spoke in their native tongue, no translations were given. Now I know a little German, so I could understand those speakers, but the Italian, French and whatever other languages were spoken were beyond me and I'm sure to most other viewers. There was also no identification of who the interviewees were, so you could not relate to them in any way.

I saw In Search of Mozart screened in LA and found that this film is a fantastic expose of Mozart, the historical period around his life, his family background and his musical career. It blows apart many myths created by the rather over commercialized Amadeus film and presents, I believe for the first time, a true picture of the great artist. Full of spectacular renditions of Mozart's work it follows his life from fledgling composer aged 8 to mature symphonic genius and opera composer. The film features many spectacular performances and interviews with prominent figures in classical music.It delves deep into his psyche exploring his relationship with his father, wife and sister, and the impetus behind his desire to succeed. A moving, enlightening and thoroughly enjoyable film for the connoisseur or novice alike narrated by the smooth charming voice of Julia Stevenson.

What a unique chance to see and hear so many of the worlds greatest musicians of our time from Lang Lang to Renée Fleming. The musical accompaniment to the imagery adds to our experience of watching the film as we are treated to scenes of classical music and mesmerising cinematography. Grabsky's film re-iterates the importance of Mozart's music and serves as a fantastic introduction to Mozart's life and works. Ideal viewing for new-comers to classical music or for those already familiar - there is something for everyone. A film that can't help being so accurate and well-reasoned. I have recently purchased the DVD in the UK, but so wish that I could see it on the big screen again!

Stunning. Bought the DVD but loved seeing it in the cinema more. And hearing it too. I really liked the voices used - Sam West to read Mozart was smart but Juliet Stephenson narrating added a lovely tone (and a female side to a largely male film). The thing that impresses at first is the wide variety of interviewees and performers - I loved Ronald Brautigam and also the Orchestra of the 18th century. Lang Lang is funny and endearing too. Most insightful historians were Jonathan Miller and Cliff Eisen - but it's a cracking good story well told. I'd have liked it longer but that's because sometimes the music extracts seem a bit short but there's a lot to fit in. Beautiful camera-work but best of all is the editing - what a task that must have been. Best of all: no dramatic reconstructions apart from one or two stagecoach wheels turning here and there (not really needed but no big deal). Def recommend you make the effort to see it.
