Four Minutes

By the numbers older person mentors rebellious younger person and they both end up complementing each other into better people. It's also a sort of German, lesbian Harold and Maude.

Starts really well, but it flattens out and becomes less interesting as it goes along, and fails to maintain its momentum or capitalise on its premise. Though it's well-directed for the most part, and I was pleasantly surprised in the beginning (I couldn't remember why I added it to my queue, so the first few scenes, especially the amazing moment when the main character first plays the piano, blew me away), the script's weaknesses assert themselves and it ends on a cringe-worthy slow clap.

Good performances, however the story should have been told differently.

Combine Mozart and Cinderella to get... Mozarella??? Should Mozart live today maybe that's where he would end up, living in a prison and playing 'negro music'.

"Though not to be confused with Madonna's new single, Four Minutes is similarly built from cliché." - Ed Gonzalez

Nice Movie

Lackluster, but I like the angsty young woman. And the dynamic with austere old woman is fun. I know it won't be as memorable as other "Damn extraneous things getting in the away of my piano awesome" films, such as 'The Beat That My Heart Skipped,' or, 'The Page Turner.'

One of the best finales I've ever seen.
