4/5
What it lacks in the kind of central episodic hook much favoured by the modern biopic, or visual virtuosity, it doubly pays backs in informed piano-side commentary by top pianists... Go to Full Review Ben Sachs Chicago Reader Sep 18, 2014
[Feels] at times like a infomercial for a greatest-hits album. Go to Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald Aug 22, 2014
3/5
Grabsky's earlier films on the great composers have been rightly praised. This one is competent and informative, but less compelling. The film whets the appetite, rather than sates it. Go to Full Review Toli Papadopoulos FILMINK (Australia) Aug 21, 2014
With its orchestral theme music, rich sense of detail, and emotive themes, In Search Of Chopin may just inspire a tear or two in the audience. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jul 25, 2015 great film, totally ruined by shitty composition and terrible, unrelated trees See more Sep 7, 2014 This film gave me at least the illusion of seeing into Chopin's mind. The explanations by eminent painists of why his music is so different and so outstanding was illuminating for me. The scenes accompanying the music set the scene really well.
