His piano music floats out the window through the night over the city.He imitates the Russian style of piano teaching."Paradoxical" is an important descriptive word for the movie itself and the situat... ions within it.Everything in this movie has a meaning. You have to let it come to you; you cannot look for it.The best movie I have seen in the last year. Full Review

I don't know what the critics were watching but this was one of the "best movies' that we have seen in a long time. Good cast, wonderful talent, warm and sincere family feelings. It was nice seeing ... a movie about a genius with comon sense.---MC Full Review

Vitus, a fizzy domestic fairy tale from Switzerland, gives you a lift, as it revels in the oddball joy of genius as kid power.Full Review

Entertainment Weekly

The cast is superb, especially the young actors who portray Vitus; Gheorghiu is a real-life piano prodigy, lending an extra frisson to the intoxicating music that plays throughout the film.Full Review

Washington Post

A gentle fable about how the young boy from Zurich struggles to fit in rather than stand out, Vitus is both a cautionary tale for pushy parents and an endearing, if eccentric, empowerment fantasy for precocious children.Full Review
