Four Minutes

2006 · 112 min

A raw, bruising character study that builds to a cathartic musical outburst, equal parts harsh and tender.

Overview: Jenny is young. Her life is over. She killed someone. And she would do it again. When an 80-year-old piano teacher discovers the girl’s secret, her brutality and her dreams, she decides to transform her pupil into the musical wunderkind she once was.
How it feels: Dark, melancholic, tense and earnest. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Trauma, music, identity, freedom
Content: Strong violence and language. Mild gore and sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
