A movie with a beautiful premise of role reversals (white man as a servant of a black master). But it is a single-note tune, which is a accidental pun because the movie is about musicians. But Viggo as a working-class Italian is wonderful. Mahershala Ali was given, figuratively, only a single note to play with but he plays it well. Remarkable is the inclusion of Nick Vallelonga, son of the principal character, both as a screenwriter and as a cameo. This is life intruding art in its most tangled form.
