From award-winning director Ben Lewin (The Sessions, The Catcher Was A Spy) Falling For Figaro follows a brilliant young fund manager named Millie (Danielle Macdonald, Patti Cake$, Dumplin), who quits her job and ends things with her longterm boyfriend in order to fulfill her dream of becoming an opera singer -- in the Scottish Highlands. She begins intense vocal training lessons with renowned but fearsome singing teacher and former opera diva Meghan Geoffrey-Bishop (Joanna Lumley). It is there she meets Max, another of Meghan's students who is also training for the upcoming "Singer of Renown" contest. The competition between Millie and Max gradually evolves into something different and deeper.

3.5/5

A movie that offers nothing more than a warm glow, great music and a romance that rises effortlessly above the stereotypical.

3.5/5

Although undeniably predictable and unambitious, Falling for Figaro gets by thanks to the excellent actors and a quietly subversive sense of humour. Lumley steals the show, but that comes as no surprise.

3/5

Falling for Figaro’s story is as predictable as burning dinner before your in-laws’ arrival. But the prosaic beats are offset by Joanna Lumley and Danielle Macdonald’s enjoyable performances.

It’s no surprise that Lumley is absolutely fabulous and will draw most of the audience, but it’s Macdonald who makes the biggest impression.
