It was alright. You can like it just as much as it allows you to is what I'm gonna say about it.

Entertaining crowd-pleaser.

Funny story, quirky kid actor. If you like foreign films, give it a try.

It's interesting to note some less-than-enthusiastic comments of others about 'yet another child prodigy story,' which proceed to harp on that single note without giving the film credit for it's strengths. For me, this fantastic performance by Teo Gheorgiu succeeds at rehumanizing the prodigy stereotype, has fun doing so, and THAT wholistic perspective helps make it an ideal family movie. Big deal, there's no Rach 3, Hammerklavier or Gaspard des le Nuit--for Vitus, this is not a shortcoming.

I Thought it was very interesting, and the pianist was excellent

This is a remarkable film depicting a brilliant talent both in real life and in the film role that he portrays. Bruno Ganz and Teo Gheorghiu are paired in a unique and charming way and play off of each other beautifully. It is spectacular. In my estimation this is 5 stars+++.

One of my favorite films. Loved it!

Though not highly original, Vitus is slightly redeemed by its charm and compelling performances.

This was a lovely foreign film. A young talented boy enjoying all the adventures of life and very much appreciating the special relationship he has with his grandfather. As a grandparent myself I very much enjoyed this sweet film.

Engaging and delightful!

Vitus is a delight of a movie with an excellent cast, and wonderful script and direction. Precisely what I loved about it was the whimsical relationship of the grandfather and the boy, and the restraint used to keep this film from becoming the bombastic melodrama or slick Hollywood comedy that it could have become with a less sensitive director. Bravo!

Vitus (pronounced Veetus) is a fictional story starring the real life piano prodigy Teo Gheorghiu. We are taken into his world as we follow Vitus from his early childhood to early teens as the film effortlessly moves through time in a way that is quite unique. He is extremely gifted and talented, both musically with the piano and academically. His parents place enormous pressure on him to succeed so he finds solace with his grandfather to escape. Through a plan that is pure genius he finds his place in life while positively shaping the lives of his loved ones. This movie was very pleasant to watch with outstanding piano music. We can all live our childhood dreams through Vitus! The movie is in Swiss German and has English subtitles. 7 out of 10 - Rated PG Dain Binder <a href="http://www.dainsmoviereviews.com/2009/07/vitus-2006-movie-review.html">http://www.dainsmoviereviews.com/2009/07/vitus-2006-movie-review.html</a>

Recomendada! Película super buena, inteligente, divertida y super cómica. Bruno Ganz excelente.

Una historia extremista, actuaciones aceptables, y una direccion precisa hacen de este trabajo un film encantador, pero inverosimil.

Fantastic movie, classy in every way. Ignore dumb comments from critics who can't stand anything that isn't violent, tragic, or contemptible in some way. Vitus is movie which has characters you actually like (what a concept!). No one is a felon, even.

:) sweetness accomplished w/o being corny. It felt real, may even be worth re-watching! The only bad part was having 11 yr-old Isabel dance w a broom.

Wonderful movie! Was fà 1/4r ein wunderbarer Film

Great cast. Fun film.

Like the film "August Rush", Vitus is an adorable child prodigy who carries all the other characters. Being probably unrealistic, it is the kind of dream that I love to keep in my hopes.

Being a innocent and pure kid is much more important than being a prodige.
