According to her gloomy, nautical-friendly employer at an old-school financial institution in London. The young American Millie Cantwell is the most gifted fund manager in years. An actual supernova in her field, built for big and profitable things. This is an excellent thing to hear if you want to be a fund manager.
If your greatest ambition is to become an opera singer, like Millie:
It will seem more like your head is selling your heart mercilessly and letting your voice hang somewhere instead. What ends up winning, expect no surprises in “Falling for Figaro“.
An ordinary and pretty comedy by Carpe Diem. Where it’s a beautiful ensemble, led by Daniel MacDonald and amplified by a deliciously dominating Joanna Lumley. What a graceful note for a script. Which is pretty standard.

“Falling for Figaro” “The Sessions” director Ben Levin finds “The Sessions” director Ben Levin in a more lively form. Than his loan partner “The hunter was a spy” and “Please wait” projects. This British-American-Australian production will most likely take a step in streaming. In Great Britain, where it is set, grey audiences can provide a brighter theatrical perspective.
For Australia’s MacDonald, who achieved a variable effect. After his performance on Sundance’s favourite “Patti Cake $” in 2017. This completely different musical project continues to prove its pure warmth. As a performer in a different setting.
After all, on her way through “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” in a shimmery evening gown. It was quite the jump from dirty New Jersey rap to trilling (or rather, skilful lip-syncing). We saw him at the Royal Opera House in London for the first time, gazing at the soprano with excitement. His friend and colleague Charlie (Shazad Latif) sleeps on his shoulder. It is the first elusive hint in the film that they may not be soulmates.
He certainly wasn’t on the wave when, once he got his high promotion:
He announced that he wanted to quit his finance job and see where his vocal cords took him. The Singer of Fame amateur opera competition is only a few months old, and he wants to do his best. However, she can’t figure it out independently, which is where Megan Jeffrey-Bishop’s (Lumley) sad voice coach comes from. Based in a remote village in the Scottish Highlands. It doesn’t come cheap and has a reputation for tormenting its students but claiming to pay off.
So Millie embarks on a disastrous journey north in Callas and country life. Enduring Megan’s arrogant demands and the mundane scepticism of local landlord Ramsey (Gary Lewis) to find her voice. Will this work? Will her initial rivalry with another of Megan’s protégés, the clumsy and adorable Max (Hugh Skinner), draw to a close? Guess what. Needless to say, while Millie says she loves opera because she is “interested in the insurmountable tragedy of everything,” falling for Figaro isn’t all that.

It’s a good thing that MacDonald is so justified and committed because Millie’s plight is not too high and compassionate enough. Leaving a high-paying career with white-collar workers behind to spend big bucks on vocal training, to be in the spotlight is not the most classic star story in their eyes. It’s a bit disappointing that Levin’s film doesn’t spoil the modern perception of opera as the art of the elite.
However, if you rely on it all for elegance.
Who better than Lumley to take on the role of a great woman? With lacquered hair and a timeless expression of frozen contempt. He shouted as he terrorized his maid with barking orders and hissing contempt. “The future for you is a typical yacht with an ordinary burial at sea,” he warned Millie after perfecting Arya’s orders. The fact that one can have the courage to continue singing. After this cut is just one of the many smooth and extraordinary films that are pleasing to the eye.
