ON A STRING (2025) Tribeca 2025

A violist still living with her parents tries to sort out her life and the ex-boyfriend who informs her that philharmonic has an opening for a viola opening.

Isabel Hagen writes, directs and stars in this charming little film. Hagen has created a film with some really wonderful moments and some great characters. I laughed repeatedly at some of the things that happen (the opening wedding proposal is destined to be considered a classic).  I was delighted.

My only complaint about the film is there are a couple of quirky turns that don't really need to be there (I'm looking at you obnoxious brother). It makes me think that the next time out, assuming Hagen doesn't use the quirks she'll make a perfect film.

This is a film that's worth your time.

Recommended.
