Review of Mozart and the Whale (2005) by Enrica C — 18 Jan 2011
A surprisingly good movie. I didn't expect it to be any good, but it was. "Mozart & the Whale" is about autistic people and there's this couple affected by the Asperger's syndrome - it just gets you there, you are fully able to explore that disease and what it means to live with it. It's really an interesting movie, you just give it 10 minutes or so to get used to it, then it'll go.
The only thing I'm not really sure about is Hartnett. I'm not really sure he was the best actor to fit in the role; he was credible, and the part was far from being easy... just in a few scenes I didn't know if I was supposed to take him seriously or crack up laughing. That's never a good sign.
An overall good movie. I suggest you give it a chance. It's got something different, the entire plot is kind of unique.
