Meesterlike MenslikheidReviewed by Neels van Tonder from Marikana, Suid-Afrika on 27 October 2007

'n Tydlose meesterstuk! Een van daardie rolprente wat 'n plek in jou privaatversameling verdien en oor-en-oor gekyk kan word. In 2005 vir 'n Oscar genomineer as beste buitelandse rolprent. Die storie draai om die lewe van 'n klein dorpsgemeenskappie en vertel die verhaal van 'n diepliggende gemeenskapsprobleem. Die inwoners is stilweg begripvolle, dog magtelose waarnemers van mekaar se omstandighede. Almal verstaan, maar niemand durf by 'n ander se persoonlike intriges inmeng of té betrokke raak nie omdat dit vir die "ander" gevolge sou hê. Wanneer Daniel na sy geboortedorp terugkeer om homself van die wêreld te onttrek, word almal met behulp van musiek uit hulle eie geïsoleerde wêrelde bevry. Die voorstelling van die karakters word só deeglik gedoen dat jy gou bekend voel met hulle omstandighede. 'n Rolprent met pragtige humor en deernisvolle menslikheid met geen vervelige oomblik nie. Die hoogtepunt? Ongetwyfeld "Gabriela's Song"! Moenie hierdie fliek mis nie. Jy gaan jammerlik op 'n grote uitmis.

Pure Heartshine!Reviewed by Ms Margaret Kollmer from Benoni on 08 January 2008

Daniel Dareus, as the burnt out conductor, returns to his home village in Sweden and reluctantly, at first, becomes choir master to a mixed bunch of church goers. Childhood memories are painful and small town bigotry compounds some unhappy experiences.
Interwoven is his poignant joy in music which he is able to transmit and share with his enthusiastic bunch of choristers; extolling them to‘find their tone’ and 'open their hearts.'
The story is dazzling; exposing as it does both human frailty and triumph of spirit. I loved the cementing bond of beautiful music permeating the tale as well as the angelic solo he composed for one of his choristers.
Truly a brilliant movie; many layered, utterly charming and sincere and significant in today's seemingly blasé world.

Hemelse realiteitReviewed by Jo Els from Eastern Cape, SA on 01 August 2008

Dis 'n tydlose verhaal wat daarin slaag om 'n deernisvolle glimlag om die mondhoeke en 'n warm gevoel in die maag te laat - 'n dikwels herhaalde tema van menslike opheffing, maar dit word kleurvol en met integriteit vertel. Die karakters is geloofwaardig en die toneelspel intens. Hoogs aanbeveel.

Absolutely stunning!Reviewed by Gail Malcomson from Pretoria, South Africa on 06 November 2007
182 of 406 people found the following review helpful:
The movie tells the story of Daniel, the famous conductor, who returns to his hometown. He buys the old school house and tries to stay in the background, saying that he has just come to listen. But he is inexorably drawn into the lives of the villagers when he takes the job as cantor at the local church. His passion for making beautiful music and his compassion for human frailty draw out the weaknesses of those around him, but also give them the strength they need to, for example, leave an abusive husband. He falls in love with Lena, a local girl with the most amazing smile and personality, and although the ending is sad, it is triumphant!

A MUST for all human beings with a heart. Starts a bit slowly but worth every minute. Might be a bit liberal for some people off the old block. Message behind it all - timeless.
