| Chicago TribuneJohn von RheinWhat emerges is a far more accurate, complete and endearingly human portrait of Mozart than any documentary has ever painted. |
| Cinema SignalsJules Brennerwisely keeps us anchored (and fascinated) with the human side of his subject |
| Chicago Sun-TimesAndrew PanterPerhaps because [director] Grabsky is a filmmaker first he has discovered ways to discard conventions and show on screen what is visually interesting about making music -- its physicality. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasMade to mark the 250th anniversary of the composer's birth last year, In Search of Mozart is challenging and exemplary. |
| Boston PhoenixJeffrey GantzThere's nothing particularly innovative about the film, but it does what a two-hour documentary can. |
| Rochester Democrat and ChronicleJack GarnerThough casual filmgoers may find In Search of Mozart a touch long and musically technical, the film provides a bevy of biographical information and a wealth of superb music. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsLouis ProyectExcellent introduction to the life and career of the world's greatest composer who enjoyed an uneasy relationship with his aristocratic patrons. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckMore rewarding musically than cinematically. |
| Kansas City StarRobert W. ButlerPerhaps the neatest thing about Phil Grabsky's In Search of Mozart is that after watching it for more than two hours your first impulse is to rush to the Internet and download a slew of Mozart recordings. |
| Los Angeles CityBeatAndy Klein... adequate A&E-style look at the composer's life ... never rises above the plodding. |
