This movie suffers from the shortcoming all such movies suffer from: no actor can 'act' a conductor. you can either conduct or you can't. If you want to make a biographical movie about a conductor, first find a conductor who can act. Failing that, a conductor who can't act is better than this offering. Her verbal interactions with the orchestra were also totally unrealistic - any conductor who spoke to an orchestra like that would get zero co-operation. Not her fault - lousy script. The acting was fine. There are many fine things in this movie - it's just that the musical stuff is embarrassing to anyone who knows anything about music.
