Unfinished Song Reviews

Movie Reviews

• the plot, alas, is equally predictable. Though dying of cancer, Marion remains a dedicated member of the center's chorus, which is enthusiastically practicing for an upcoming musical competition

  by Elizabeth Weitzman [New York Daily News ]

• the film is ultimately about the redemption of Arthur, him finding his heart and reconnecting with his son before it's too late

  by Ernest Hardy [Village Voice ]

• Stamp finds more honest (and less condescending) humor in his grumpy character, who is forced to take center stage and mount a rebellion when the choir's participation in a competition is threatened by a totally contrived obstacle

  by Lou Lumenick [New York Post ]

• it may be the equivalent of NBA stars tossing crumpled paper into a wastebasket, but you're no less compelled to watch old pros go through the motions

  by Eric Hynes [Time Out New York ]

• it may be hokum, but it gets to you

  by Stephen Holden [New York Times ]

• in the film, a comment is made about the power of a voice being not in technique but in the journey it took to get there. Stamp and Redgrave and living embodiments of that philosophy

  by Peter Travers [Rolling Stone ]

• but "Unfinished Song" is a movie so geared toward hitting its spots, it amounts to emotional Muzak rather than something truly played live

  by Robert Abele [Los Angeles Times ]

• away from the choral setting, Unfinished Song is an uplifting ode to the celebration of life at any age

  by Claudia Puig [USA Today ]

• and I liked the message that what makes a song beautiful is not always the quality of the voice singing it but the heart and soul behind it

  by Rex Reed [New York Observer ]
