[Highly rated reviewer]
Perfect beat.
I saw this at the cinema and loved it.
The central character is torn between his love of music and his violent life.
If you love to lose yourself in music you will find something to identify with in here.
I don't think there was a single bum note in the movie.
One of my favourites of 2005. -

Different & Unusual, French & Moody
An interesting film, very concentrated on one character who manages to carry it. You dont know whether to sympathise with him or hate him- usually both, but he has a charm and arrogance that works on film. If you are a patient film viewer I think you will like this. Favourite bit- when he gets deservedly bollocked for the first time by his piano teacher. A very subtle film- gentle and sometimes brutal at the same time.
