Some lessons can only be learned by heart.

When a violin prodigy Xiaochun and his father head to Beijing seeking fame and fortune, they soon discover a fierce world of cutthroat ambition. But when Xiaochun is "adopted" by a famous music tutor, success finally seems within reach - until a shocking discovery begins to unravel his entire world, and the boy must make the most difficult choice of his life. Can he achieve the fame his father had always hoped for without losing the extraordinary passion that sets him apart?

Michael Wilmington · Chicago Tribune 88.00/100.00

It's hard to watch and listen to Together without, in some sense, having your heart lifted by its music.

Richard Corliss · Time 80.00/100.00

Isn't an audience that was nurtured on the doomsday screeds of art-house cinema entitled to vacation in the warmth of a superior film about a boy with almost too many people to love?

Ann Hornaday · Washington Post 80.00/100.00

A true original, thanks to some memorable characters, an engaging story and a thrilling classical soundtrack.
