David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter 13 hrs ago
That rarely glimpsed milieu and a virtuoso cellist protagonist might make Gilroy’s film sound like Maestro meets Tár. But the story’s internal engine seldom revs hard enough to stand up to either of those comparisons. Go to Full Review David Ehrlich IndieWire 13 hrs ago
B+
Ultimately a movie less about the power of film music or the people who play it than it is a movie about one man’s need to make his own associations with the soundtrack of his life. But Gilroy endows that process with an unforced sense of discovery. Go to Full Review Owen Myers Guardian 13 hrs ago
2/5
Pascal is a frustratingly insubstantial anchor to the film. For all his virtuosic musical skills, Alex feels like a distant spectator to his own life, and “the kind of guy that stuff just happens to” doesn’t make for a particularly engaging watch. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix 1 hr ago
A feast for the senses and the mind in how it tells a richly layered story about a cellist who confronts family issues when he returns to his hometown of Los Angeles. Pedro Pascal gives an outstanding performance in this memorable drama. Go to Full Review Jeremy Mathai Slashfilm 2 hrs ago
8.5/10
This is the movie star role Pascal has been waiting for all along, and that 2026 saved its most virtuoso drama for last. Go to Full Review Joey Magidson Awards Radar 9 hrs ago
