What people are saying about Beethopia: The Grand Delusion
"The story line is compelling and the cinematography...superb." - Ann Nicholson
"Beethopia is a mesmerizing movie, full of allegory and thought-provoking moments. The cinematography is beautiful, with scenes of decrepit streets and run-down buildings that make you feel as if you have been transported to a desolate world, desperate for joyful music. I can understand why someone would hope for Beethoven’s return." - John Drobak
"Although the film is set in an Orwellian world of the future, it explores many contemporary issues. These issues include scientific ones, such as the ethics of human cloning. The film also explores deeper issues that go beyond the scientific, such as the proper place of emotion in society, the role of parenting in the nature vs. nurture debate, and the place of government in controlling its citizens’ lives. The acting is strong and the plot keeps your interest, with a lot of unexpected twists and turns as the movie unfolds. The costumes and the sets are impressive, with a number of literary and cultural allusions for those viewers who are alert and well-versed enough to catch them. All in all, this film delivers thought-provoking entertainment in the way that you hope a good sci-fi film will do". - Daniel L. Keating
"As a musician and composer, I believe [Beethopia] strikes a chord with other musicians. The oppression Larry faces as he's forced into music and how he deals with the demons of his larger than life ancestry is common to all musicians as we always strive in the face of monstrous ghosts of the past. Brahms said, "You don't know what it feels like to hear Beethoven's footsteps behind you." - Joe Johnson
