Review of Boychoir (2015) by Ian G — 11 Jan 2016

Another music oriented feature from Canadian director Fracois Girard focusing on a troubled youth from a single parent household who is given the chance of a lifetime due to his powerful voice that is set up with a powerful music school to pursue the proper training and discipline he needs despite his anger issues and everything.

One of those award bait films that has the supporting cast of recognizable faces in their patented trademark personas from Hoffman to Bates and Josh Lucas, but the big thing is just listening to the varying choral pieces which are immaculately recorded.

Otherwise it is just a by the numbers hallmark film that has a vague chamber piece element to the proceedings that the normal heartstring pulling sequences. Not bad for what it is.
