The Music of Silence(La musica del silenzio)

The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck

Discerning viewers will recognize The Music of Silence for the tediously sentimental, rote exercise that it is. It's the cinematic equivalent of listening to opera in an elevator.

The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis

This blah trudge from cradle to stage will be catnip to his fans and Ambien to everyone else.

Variety by Peter Debruge

A toothless ode to a still-living celebrity, it’s a film that may appeal to very young children and very old ladies, but seems sure to bore everyone in between.

Los Angeles Times by Robert Abele

The pedestrian filmmaking and community-theater pacing mostly recalls PBS pledge drives hawking Bocelli records.

Movie Nation by Roger Moore

An old fashioned, corny film hagiography that may please the most ardent fans, who will be more tolerant of its lax pacing and high cheese content.
