"Mozart" doesn't sugarcoat romance
(Reuters)

performances anchor this low-key romantic drama about two

performance as the extrovert in the central couple, and Josh
Hartnett offers what is by far his best work to date.

cliches that usually characterize the genre. The idea works

commitment users have to their drugs rather than the social and
health consequences of using. But when long-term addiction
kicks in proper, the pop stylistics jar with the horrendous
lives the characters are living.
