Music has long been considered a universal language with the power to bring people together, but can the simple act of playing music possibly unite a child with a mother and father who live in two different cities and don't even know of the child's existence? Having shared one extraordinary night, classical cellist Lyla Novacek (Keri Russell) and Irish singer and songwriter Louis Connelly (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) were a union meant to be that was torn apart by circumstances and a protective father (William Sadler). After eleven years, both Lyla and Louis have given up performing only to find that they are unhappy and searching for a sense of fulfillment that will ultimately lead both artists back to music and performing. Evan (Freddie Highmore) is an 11-year old orphan who's grown up hearing music in everything around him and is convinced that his real parents want him and will find him with the help of music. Driven by his innate musical genius and a powerful compulsion to perform before the world, Evan runs away from the orphanage and is initially taken in by a street man known as Wizard (Robin Williams) who encourages his musical talent and renames him August Rush and, later, by a local priest who arranges for August to receive a Julliard education. August is a child prodigy who excels beyond even the wildest expectations and earns the opportunity of a lifetime--a chance to perform in front of an enormous audience in New York's Central Park. The question is; can his performance possibly reach the audience August really craves? While elements of this film are completely unbelievable (take August's instant prowess on the guitar or his immediate and sophisticated grasp of musical notation and musical theory), the message of the universality of music and the notion that "the music is all around us, all you have to do is listen" is both compelling and powerful. --Tami Horiuchi |

Best Artistic design |
|
I am a professional artist and Illustrator. This movie brings the artist out in the best of us. Special effect, plot design and for natural and musical beauty, it tops the list. A movie you'll never forget. |

"Music is all around us, all you got to do is listen." |
A great movie to watch and listen to. Absolutely amazing performance by the cast, Freddie Highmore, Keri Russell, Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Only one word for the director, EXCELLENT!
The feeling you have after watching this movie cannot be described in words(perhaps music can).
To sum it up, this show is about the convergence of 'music'.
"MUSIC IS ALL AROUND US, ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS LISTEN." |

Wonderful for entire family...Great "feel-good" movie. Would be a great gift for anyone. I thought my husband would think of this as a "chick-flick" but he enjoyed it as much as I did, even more! We have watched it multiple times. Don't miss it!!! |

Unusual film |
|
I really enjoyed this film, though it is a little off of regular film fare. Maybe "unusual" is a better term. Actors all do a great job. Definitely recommended ! |
