[Director] Boe's technique has more flash than passion.

Bill Stamets, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh

Although the film, much like its protagonist and his piano playing, lacks a certain passion, its stylistic structure and execution are coolly flawless.

Raven Snook, Time Out New York
Rotten

In Allegro, the past is a shadowy night town whose geography is continually rearranging itself.

Stephen Holden, New York Times
Rotten

Like its gifted, but emotionally frigid, pianist hero, Allegro is filled with technical virtuosity but short on real feeling.

Leslie Felperin, Variety
Rotten

Writer-director Christoffer Boe takes himself very, very seriously. Me, not so much.

Nathan Lee, Village Voice
