Full Plot Details

Beginning in 1763, the film follows the Mozart family's exhausting life on the road, traveling by coach from one royal court to the next, where the nobility marvel at young Wolfgang's prodigious talent. But accomplished singer, harpsichordist, violinist Nannerl, Wolfgang's elder by five years, first held forth as the family's infant prodigy. At the film begins, she is still performing, though overshadowed and sidelined as accompanist by Wolfgang's growing fame. Her father bows to social strictures "for her own good," refusing to let her continue with the violin or compose, while privately conceding Nannerl's talent to his wife. No longer a precocious tot, Nannerl chafes at the limitations imposed by her gender and frets about her prospects.

Movie Reviews

Christian Science Monitor - 9/10 by Peter RainerAs speculative storytelling goes, Mozart's Sister is ingenious but as moviemaking it's plodding.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Robin CliffordThis package makes for viewing time well spent, especially with the music and centered performances by the director's daughters...
Seattle Times - 9/10 by Moira MacDonaldThere's potentially an interesting story here, of ambition thwarted and talent denied, but Féret's movie misses it.
ColeSmithey.com - 9/10 by Cole Smithey[VIDEO] Marie Féret's magical eyes allow for a haunting performance that transcends time. Prepare to be swept away.
Variety - 8/10 by Ronnie ScheibFeminist without the arrogance of 20-20 hindsight, vividly precise in its depiction of 18th-century pre-revolutionary France (the filmmakers were allowed to shoot inside Versailles), alive with exuberantly thesped personages and awash in the joy and power of music, the picture is a stunner.
New York Post - 8/10 by V.A. MusettoMozart's Sister had a much smaller budget than "Amadeus," but Féret makes good use of his resources, even getting to film in the splendid halls of Versailles. The cast is excellent, be they relatives of the director or not. And the music, though not by a Mozart, is beautiful.
New York Times - 8/10 by Manohla DargisNannerl, the subject of at least three novels also titled "Mozart's Sister," is in this film meant to be something more than a chapter in her brother's biography though it's not exactly clear what. Somewhat frustratingly if reasonably, Mr. Féret never settles on whether she was a genius, a martyr, a feminist cause, a disappointed daughter, a resigned woman or all of the above.
At the Movies (Australia) - 8/10 by Margaret PomeranzThe music is indeed lovely and it's about, for me, the only lovely thing about this film.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 8/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)It's an intriguing notion, but it's not executed very well.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 8/10 by Ken HankeA good film. But as drama, it falls a little shy of the mark.
