August Rush is a must see

August Rush

Director: Kirsten Sheridan

Cast: Freddie Highmore, Robin Williams, Keri Russell, Jonathan Rhys Meyers

Cert: PG

A great little film full of fine acting, strong directing and emotional depth. A film to give you a sniffle and a warm glow.

Highmore plays a young musical genius who longs to meet the parents who were forced to give him up at birth. He hopes his talent will assist his task. Meanwhile his mother yearns for the same thing.

It seems, on the face of it, a simple plotline and while it is also a story with lots more going for it, certainly enough to warrant a strong recommendation.
