Reviews for The Overture
If you don't mind a bit of treacle in your cinematic cultural-exchange program, The Overture will warm you inside and out.
A by-the-numbers, simple tale that pulls out all the cliched melodramatic stops when it should be exploring an obviously fascinating character in Thai history.
The film probably loses some of its effect when it is brought to a Western culture, but it is still captivating.
