Chris Chang Film Comment Magazine Jun 17, 2013
Romantic and engaging-with lush musical detail throughout-this most enjoyable film is, in the end, a thoroughly demoralizing tale of female oppression. Go to Full Review

2/5
The exchanges between Louise and Nannerl are sometimes laborious, even stilted. Making the casting of these two characters a family affair was probably not the best idea. Go to Full Review

Luke S Dec 2, 2018 good costume drama although it seems they took license with the timeline
Poe L Jun 22, 2018 With sumptuous locations and costumes, the restrained performances present a powerful tale of gender inequality and quiet injustice. "Nannerl, la soeur de Mozart" is well worth watching. See more
