The Sonata [Movie Review]


The Sonata [Movie Review] | Due to the lack of movies available in the cinema (no thanks to the effing Covid-19), I just bought a ticket for The Sonata while killing some time before meeting with a friend.

I watched the trailer and it looked kinda interesting.

The movie starts with a distressed looking old guy going through his musical notes and then lights himself on fire. 

The scene jumps to a scene where Rose Fisher was in the middle of recording her latest violin composition when her manager, Charles, barges in and tells her about the mysterious demise of his long lost father and a famous composer, Richard Marlowe. Rose shows no emotions whatsoever because she has long lost interest in her father, since the day that her father left her and her mother alone.

When she goes to see a lawyer about the death, she learns that her father has left her an old mansion where he hides in all his life. 

After her fight with Charles, Rose decides to visit the mansion, just to release her stress and run away from the world. She was shocked when she finds out that the mansion was super huge. She lets herself in and finds the helper who cleans the house once a week while her father was still alive. The helper shares with Rose about the eerie demise of her father. 

She explores the mansion and enters her father's office where she finds all the musical notes all over the floor. With a key, she manages to find a special music note, safely tucked away in a drawer. She shares the notes with Charles, who later shows it to his friend as he finds the note was a bit weird. When he learns who the composer is, he shares about Richard's obsession with a satanic cult which made him disappear from the world.

MY REVIEW
Plot: 4.0/ 5.0 The movie moves nicely forward but towards the end, it was kinda rushing to finish the movie. Should the pace was distributed evenly, the ending would have been more impactful. I would like to know what happens at the end! I was left hanging!

Cast: 4.5/ 5.0 The cast plays their parts accordingly. But should they were able to better play their parts to the max (as mentioned above), the movie would have been more impactful.

Will I watch it again: Not in a very near future.
