8/10
A great film, mostly, but...

Warning: Spoilers
Who decided that a great young musician on his way to his first featured performance could fall asleep on a bus? I mean, really? And then randomly meet a survivor of the same camp his family died in just round the corner from the synagogue where one of the last surviving Rabbi's from the same camp kept the oral list of the names of the dead? Does no one vet this stuff in pre-production?

Great performances from the younger cast, and good from all, although expecting Clive Owen to consistently deliver an accent as a Brooklyn Jew originally from Warsaw and raised in London is a stretch.

Beautifully and expensively filmed and produced. Still mystified about the actors "playing" the violin so well.
