- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Copying Beethoven, at its best, is a sort of grand cinema opera of the composer's life and music"
-
This is one of those middle-of-the-road art pictures that will impress some music lovers and attract a small audience, but won't really excite anyone
-
"Shot by Ashley Rowe to look like a cross between a Vermeer retrospective and a music video, Copying Beethoven is silly and misguided, if reasonably entertaining for its charming lack of self-awareness"
-
"Agnieszka Holland's Copying Beethoven joins 1994's 'Immortal Beloved' in the ranks of mediocre dramatic interpretations of Beethoven's biography."
-
"Aspires to the sublime, but it stalls at the merely ridiculous"
