The story is a graphic illustration of how a seemingly trouble-free marriage can find itself on the verge of collapse years later when a partner gives up his or her dreams for the sake of the family. With just a little push, life's trajectory can collapse - one beautiful young girl, kissed by the muse of music just like him, ignites not only romantic feelings but also a desire for long-lost freedom. Guy Pearce and Felicity Jones make an age-disparate duo that sparks convincingly, so much so that the audience might believe they genuinely have something between them while watching the film. The film is also imbued with beautiful music and pulsating suspense as to whether the two will be able to escape the grip of everyday reality... (75%) ()
