Leave your thoughts about Highly Strung.
| 3AWJim SchembriFascinating, surprisingly absorbing documentary about the formation of the new Australian String Quartet...But what starts out as a straightforward doco morphs into Spinal Tap With Strings when personality differences threaten to break up the band. |
| Adelaide ReviewDavid 'Mad Dog' BradleyWhen they have to return the Guadagninis, it's like they're surrendering a loved child, and the extreme emotion is either heart-rending (if you're a devotee of classical music and high culture) or perhaps ever-so-subtly funny. |
| The AustralianDavid StrattonMusic lovers will find plenty to enjoy in this intriguing film. |
| The Age (Australia)Jake WilsonWhile the chamber music on the soundtrack rarely becomes central in its own right, Highly Strung is constructed like a piece of music, divided into movements and weaving together multiple themes. |
| The Sunday AgeCraig MathiesonThe film is rarely staid and it is ego, whether endowed by the instruments or not, that often shines through in the overly busy structure that leaps from one tangent to the next. |
| Herald Sun (Australia)Leigh PaatschIf anything, it could be argued Hicks has too much strong material at his disposal here. |
