Music of the Heart (1999)

Music of the Heart (1999, USA) C-124m. *** D: Wes Craven. Starring Meryl Streep, Kieran Culkin, Aidan Quinn, Cloris Leachman, Angela Bassett. Conventional but engrossing drama about violin teacher Streep, who belives that every kid - even those in the ghetto - can learn to play the instrument. The single mother encounters many problems at the beginning and must fight for acceptance. Well-acted, well-scripted drama that was directed by an old horror pro! Overlength shows in typical Hollywoodesque finale, otherwise this is well-worth watching (also for horror fans).
