FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/the-choral-review/

"The Choral is a passable yet forgettable experience.

While the vocal performances are heavenly and the premise of finding refuge in art is noble, its thematic and narrative approach is too shallow. The lack of development for all characters prevents catharsis and emotional impact, leaving the audience with a movie that feels more like a rigid stage play than a cinematic drama.

It's a mere fleeting comfort whose beautiful music cannot conceal the superficiality of its story."
