Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Kenneth TuranAn extraordinarily intimate, deeply affecting and revelatory documentary on how pain and passion can come together in a creative artist.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Edward GuthmannHolds our attention by dispensing information gradually, like a piece of fiction.
New York Daily News - 8/10 by Jami BernardIf it doesn't shed much light on the violinist's personal life, it certainly conveys how personally she relates to her work.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Stephen HoldenDraws a curtain over her intimate personal life.
New York Post - 6/10 by Rod DreherThe movie isn't bad, only scattered and incomplete.
L.A. Weekly - 5/10 by Alan RichThe less you know about the world of classical music and, specifically, about one of its more flamboyant denizens, the violinist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, the less the offense of Speaking in Strings.
San Francisco Examiner - 5/10 by Allan UllrichWhat mystifies, too, is the complete absence of information about Salerno-Sonnenberg's private life.
TV Guide Magazine - 5/10 by Maitland McDonagh(Salerno-Sonnenberg's) determination and resilience should speak to a broader audience.
Village Voice - 3/10 by Robert HilfertyA clumsy labor of love with unforgivable lapses...key footage is missing, and it fails to show why Salerno-Sonnenberg's controversial interpretations are so original and valid.
Chicago Reader - 3/10 by Lisa AlspectorConveys little sense of a connection, as if di Florio had made it mainly because she had access to a celebrity.
