Full Plot Details

British sisters Hilary du Pré and Jacqueline du Pré are both talented musicians, Hilary a flautist, Jackie a cellist. With regard to their musical prowess, they have always had a friendly competitive nature with each other, fueled in large part by the want of their pianist mother, Iris, for them to achieve musical greatness. But underlying this friendliness is a deep desire to be truly better than the other. Despite or perhaps in part because of her flamboyant performance style, the younger Jackie emerges from the shadows of older Hilary's more triumphant childhood successes to become the renowned musician in the family. Although both continue with their music and both end up marrying (Hilary to Kiffer Finzi, and Jackie to pianist Daniel Barenboim), Hilary focuses on her home life, whereas Jackie focuses on her career. A seemingly odd request by Jackie to Hilary is later understood, but Hilary's agreement to that request demonstrates the true nature of their loving but unusual sisterly relationship.

Movie Reviews

ReelViews - 10/10 by James BerardinelliIt is a triumph, and one of 1998's few "don't miss" motion pictures.
The New York Times - 10/10 by Stephen HoldenOne of the most insightful and wrenching portraits of the joys and tribulations of being a classical musician ever filmed.
Reno Gazette-Journal - 10/10 by Forrest HartmanOne of the best films of the year. An emotionally gripping tale about obsession, family and love.
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Edward GuthmannEmily Watson is ravishingly good -- and brings an amazing focus and intensity to what could have been a disease-of-the-week picture.
TheMovieReport.com - 10/10 by Michael DequinaAn uncommonly well-rounded portrait of a tormented genius.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertThe movie makes no attempt to soften the material or make it comforting through the cliches of melodrama.
L.A. Weekly - 9/10 by Manohla DargisThis sensitively directed film is one of those rarest of accomplishments: a graceful work of art about the very creation of art itself.
The A.V. Club - 9/10 by Joshua KleinAn astoundingly moving and elegiac meditation on life, love, music, and the bonds of blood.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Kenneth TuranIt takes two to be sisters, two to have a rivalry, and two exceptional actresses to turn Hilary and Jackie into a compelling look at the most intimate and troubling of family dynamics.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Troy PattersonNeither the stars' harmonious interplay nor director Anand Tucker's insistent urbanity of camera work can disguise that the cello drama is melodrama.
