### Reviews we read (1)

- **The Guardian**, Peter Bradshaw (70/100, inferred): Bradshaw finds the biopic sturdy, heartfelt and high-minded, despite some stolidness and a misjudged opening. He singles out its lonely heroism and the tension between Celibidache’s principles and the musical world around him.
