Reviews
Captivates your ears, eyes, and heart
Listen to the Universe is a movie that captivates your ears, eyes, and heart through the sound of the piano.I say ears because of the beautiful pieces they play in the movie, eyes because of how they used visual representation of the sounds the piano conveys, as well as how the cinematography is top notch. And lastly, heart because of how the overall story leaves you with a warm fuzzy feeling.
Rather than focusing on a main character, the movie focuses on the piano and how it resonates with different kinds of person.
It isn't overly dramatic, not highly technical, simplicity is it's charm.
