What emerges is a far more accurate, complete and endearingly human portrait of Mozart than any documentary has ever painted.
75
Most of the color and zest among the movie's many talking heads comes from the refreshingly irreverent opera director Jonathan Miller.
70
Made to mark the 250th anniversary of the composer's birth last year, In Search of Mozart is challenging and exemplary.
70
The film sniffs mightily at Milos Forman's "Amadeus," but even if you found that film over the top and off the wall, you might find yourself wishing for a little more "Volfie" and a little less Saint Wolfgang.
70
Milos Forman's "Amadeus" (1984) is so ingrained in the popular imagination that its portrait of Mozart may never be dispelled, but this thorough and insightful 2006 documentary presents a more rounded and compelling view of the high-spirited genius.
63
The overall effect is that of a deferential video you might find at a Mozart museum: educational, but not exactly inspiring.
60
A beautifully lensed but ploddingly paced tribute.

My favorite soprano singing my favorite composer. What can be better? Renee is such a unique and charming person. The warmth of her voice never fails to melt my heart. Must have 100%.
