    Foreign, German. This is a good movie! About a child prodegy that injures himself, in a fall, and becomes 'normal' and the events that happen after his fall. All aspects of a great movie, sets, scenery, quality film, acting, story and great music. I loved this movie and highly recommend it; for all ages!

    the music in this movie was awesome, but the story itself got kind-of slow in the middle. but just the thought that there are actually kids out there like this is just freaky!

    I admire the grandson-grandpa relationship in this movie. The mother is annoyingly bossy at times... Music is good~~ wonder what piece are they?

    "Vitus" es la historia de un niņo prodigio, cuya mente brillante lo hace automaticamente un inadaptado social.
    El argumento de esta cinta suiza puedo parecer simple y predecible, sin embargo cuenta con buenas actuaciones y mucha emotividad sin rayar en la cursileria.
    Una cinta menor, pero muy disfrutable de cine de arte internacional. Ampliamente recomendada.

    i just saw this movie, its the second one after the legend of 1900 made my tears out. the boy really got excellent talent and good spirit. he got IQ of 180, but he feel different with other people. so he changed his school and other things without telling his parents. he know what he could do. hes grandpa is perfect. got the whole life dream with plane, tell everything with his little friend vitus. his family likes a wonderful home. vitus lives with all of his intelligence, happiness and love.

    una historia de la fortaleza de la voluntad, del querer ser y de la mente. muy bien lograda con actuaciones impresionantes sobre todo del protagonista. con secuencias innolvidables como la cinta con la cual cierra.

    This film is right up there with Once and Ratatouille as one of the most feel-good movies I've seen this year. A charming little drama about a boy genius who only wants to be treated like a normal human being and enjoy a normal, joyful childhood. Of course his parents could care less, living vicariously and inconsiderately through him. The film steers clear of many of the obvious cliches, providing many deeply formed characters and an often engaging screenplay.

    Vitus is an inspiring experience. Veering towards ridiculousness towards the end, the film is saved by its subtle script and generally wonderful performances. As an added bonus, the music is just as beautiful as the film's message.

    COOL!!! The boy is a child prodigy! But it's kind of silly, the part where he proposes to a girl much older than him?

    I think it's very interesting from what i've heard about it. I would like to see what makes the boy so intelligent, something inborn or a disease, like autism, for example.

    Surprisingly entertaining, not the boring child prodigy movie I thought it would be... although, I guess those stay as documentaries. This is fun fiction.

    Murer clearly has a great rapport with children and brings out a credible performance from the nonprofessional actor (but real-life musical virtuoso) Teo Gheorghiu -- especially considering that so much of the film rests on this young pianist's shoulders. Bruno Ganz, whom English-speaking audiences rarely get to hear performing in his own Zurich dialect, unsentimentally embodies the traditional Swiss values that are disappearing under a wave of American-style materialism and yuppie anxiety.
