Reception
A critic from The Hollywood Reporter wrote that "But the film’s few, more lived-in moments often involve secondary characters with no story arc of their own, so they never feel properly integrated into the fabric of the otherwise very formatted plot".[1] A critic from Screen International wrote that "The raucous energy that the youngsters offer gives Orchestra Class (La Melodie) a gritty sense of momentum".[2] A critic from RFI wrote that "Alfred Renély is a touching and convincing young prodigy supported by a whole bunch of promising French film actors".[3]
