Admirable film.

The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Maybe a bit over the top romantic but I always enjoyed this movie, it is well acted and particularly from Brenda Bethyn and Jennifer Tilly, which I felt they were the true stars that glued this story together. Tilly's story seems to have somehow predominance over Gretchen Moll's and the latter lacks a bit of chemistry with Jude Law, but he gives his dreamer character justice. My favourite scene is when Grace's passes, she goes with such a bang! I only bought this movie because of its sound track, but I was pleasantly taken by it, I found myself watching it already several times with a nice piece of cake and a cup of tea in boring cold afternoons. Oscar worth? No, but still a nice story.

When I check my voting history, I see I have voted for movies rather generously. But I never actually gagged to give a movie a 9 and felt inhibited not to go beyond 7. I wish this movie let me love it a little bit more.The story is very simple and popular. Actually, in my country, at least a dozen movies are made every decade on a plot like this one. So, it's not the catchy story or an end twist that people love these kinda movies for. So, when you already know what is gonna happen and how, complete attention falls on things like cinematography and compelling conversations.This movie has wonderful moments. Well, with Jude Law, that is no surprise. I wanted to see this movie for Gretchen Mol. She is spontaneous, but not brilliant. The thing is, for this movie, she did not have to be. But when a sensitive viewer is watching the film, certain things should be left unsaid for his mind to synthesize and derive. If everything is discussed on a round table (not literally), it becomes more educational and less charming. That is what is pulling this movie down. Movies like French Kiss or Addicted to Love never surprised any viewer with a climax. But those films took their breaths away no doubt. I wish this one was a little more subtle and metaphoric. That way, I would not have to settle for a 7.Though there is no surprise in the end, the end is very beautiful. Feels like it's filmed by some different director than the one who filmed the educational speeches. But anyway, this is a lovely film to see. You might find it very good, or just good, depending on how forgiving you are in real life. There is no way you are gonna regret spending your good money on it. I recommend it. Who am I to recommend? You don't wanna know.

Let's get one thing straight - a film is made for entertainment purposes only. Unless you look at "March Of Tne Penguins". A film is not made to be perfect or to contain 100% correct information. No one is perfect, so stop bad mouthing every single film ever made, so what if they didn't get it right about the baby in the beginning, you have a PHD in Biology or whatever? I doubt it. It's a film, watch it and enjoy it or don't bother watching it. I enjoyed it, I like Rom-Coms. It's a good film, with good acting, and a good storyline. Jennifer Tilly is an amazing actress; perfect for her role, I'm sure it was extremely difficult to play an innocent, blind girl, and we all know how wild Ms Tilly was in the 80/90's! She managed it. And Gretchen Mol, fantastic, I hope to see her more in the future!

"Music From Another Room" is an interesting title. It doesn't make any sense until you see the film in which the phrase is part of a slightly silly metaphor about the nature of love. However, the title actually made me watch the film, along with the promise of well-known actors Jude Law, Jennifer Tilly and Brenda Blethyn.The film is funny at times and lovable in the way we expect from romantic comedies - the opening scenes of young Danny's participation in a baby's birth is a good example, full of sweetness and humanity from Brenda Blethyn and young actor Cory Buck. But this is basically not a very good film. The major problem is in the directing and the editing which are without elegance and with plenty of flaws. Too many parts of the film are unfunny. A large part of the latter half of the film is strained and repetitive. The intended mixture of sadness and joy is handled too unoriginally to be anything but indecision.On top, the storyline is incoherent: Danny's immediate crush on a girl he hasn't seen since her birth is not backed by anything other than Gretchen Mol's nice, but perhaps rather bland appearance. For the most part, the character is described as a closed and slightly dull personality, and Mol plays it with a stiffness to match.Jude Law is a splendid talent but his part much too romanticized and fundamentally uninteresting. Jennifer Tilly plays a blind girl who is provoked into experiencing life more than she has; she is good, but not excellent. In the end my favorite actors here are Brenda Blethyn and Jane Adams, both in fairly small parts.
