12 years ago, on a moonlit rooftop above Washington Square, sheltered young cellist Lyla Novacek (Keri Russell) and charismatic Irish singer/songwriter Louise Connelly (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) were drawn together by a street musician's rendition of ''Moondance'' and fell in love. After the most romantic night of her life, Lyla promised to meet Louis again, but despite her protests, her father rushed her to her next concert--leaving Louis to believe that she didn't care. Disheartened, he found it impossible to continue playing and eventually abandoned his music while Lyla, her own hopes for love lost, was led to believe months later that she had also lost their unborn child in a car accident. Their orphaned son (Freddie Highmore) uses his musical talent as a clue to find his birth parents.
Leave your thoughts about August Rush.
| Entertainment SpectrumVince KoehlerMay be the best film I have seen in 2007. August will have you Rushing to theatres to witness his musical masterpiece. |
| eFilmCritic.comBrian OrndorfThe abruptness of the picture as it leaps from character to character is unsettling, revealing that either Rush had a 30-hour rough cut or Sheridan just didn't know where to take a stand with the film's focal point. |
| Fresno BeeDonald MunroIf sentimentality were a cymbal, it'd be like having a percussionist standing right behind you and crashing every other beat. |
| OregonianM.E. RussellThe filmmakers are so deadly earnest about the power of music and love and all that stuff, you just twiddle your thumbs waiting for the inevitable. |
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovFar from the year's worst film, but it might be the year's biggest debacle -- it's hugely, ostentatiously bad. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenA lot like a conventional musical, but the story is not conventional, it is mystically romantic. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsIt's far-fetched and a leap of faith of Olympic proportions is required to keep abreast of the plot, but August Rush does deliver some charming moments, largely due to charismatic performances from Keri Russell and Jonathan Rhys Meyers |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsBetty Jo TuckerOverly sentimental it may be, but August Rush took me quite willingly to a cinematic world full of music and hope. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertI'd rather August Rush went the whole way than just be lukewarm about it. Yes, some older viewers will groan, but I think up to a certain age, kids will buy it, and in imagining their response, I enjoyed my own. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekSo gloriously, astonishingly nutty that it almost qualifies as an instant camp classic...the visual flamboyance only adds to the pretentious goofiness of it all. |
