The Sound of Music

CriticsCritics: 73

In prewar Austria, a spirited young woman leaves an abbey to become governess to a widowed naval captain’s seven children. Through kindness, music, and playful energy, she helps bring warmth back to the strict household while the changing political climate creates growing uncertainty.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you love uplifting, song-filled family stories with romance and gentle suspense; not for you if you dislike musicals, sentimentality, or lengthy classics.
