Vitus Reviews
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 17, 2011
Una pelcula interesante, si bien no original, sobre lo que significa crecer siendo un nio prodigio. Sorprendentes actuaciones de los pequeos protagonistas, junto al veterano y experto Bruno Ganz.

I alternately wanted to slap and hug the majority of the characters

Newcomer Teo Gheorghiu does a fantastic job of bringing the title character to life...
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 29, 2007
[Twelve-year-old lead actor] Gheroghiu's subtle acting ... makes the somewhat fantastical plot threads that drive the second half of the film believable, and turns what was a somewhat bloodless family drama into a cleverly constructed tale void of life-af

Like a gifted youngster, 'Vitus' doesn't fulfill its potential.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 14, 2007
...fairy tales are really horror shows, and the idea of children as anything other than miniature adults with the full complement of ugly motives is a relatively recent one.
| Original Score: 82/100 | Sep 14, 2007
The less you know about the storyline the better, but there are elements of a buddy movie, a super scam, and love story in this film about a 12 year old wunderkind who has the smarts to make his dreams soar

Oh, yes. I loved the music, but it's almost impossible to go wrong with Bach and Schumann.

It's a simple, gentle tale that pulls its audience in almost imperceptibly; by its end, you just might be blinking away unexpected tears.

Its heart is never anywhere but in the right place.

A good example of making the differences work for you. Deep down, this is a film about childhood dreams and the determination to make those dreams come true. With such a positive message, you can't help yodeling on your exit from the theater.

... inconsequential fun that sells out the human story with an abrupt third-act turn from childhood rebellion to junior con game.
| Original Score: C+ | Aug 3, 2007
If you suspend your disbelief, you will be rewarded with fine performances and a feel-good message that isn't cloying or sentimental.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 2, 2007
There are some likable elements to this unusual, erratic, ultimately frustrating film.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 27, 2007
The more sentimentally inclined in the audience may even feel like applauding.
