Is it for you?

Who'll love it
If you count yourself among anyone who likes secrets inside secrets and anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping, this one's for you. Nobody is quite who they seem. Fans of O.J.: Made in America should feel right at home. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Moves through the story clearly, at 1 hr 26 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

"What would the world be like without Beethoven?" That’s the provocative question posed by this music documentary from Deutsche Welle. To answer it, the film explores how Ludwig van Beethoven's innovations continue to have an impact far beyond the boundaries of classical music, 250 years after his birth.
