Rating: 3/5 --
There's no pressing story to tell, or even especially vital achievement to record, so the film probably counts as bit of self-indulgence from Hawke, but it's got a very good heart.

Guardian
3 stars out of 5 -- [I]t’s an admiringly respectful profile of former concert pianist Seymour Bernstein, who now devotes his time to teaching.
The Guardian
[A] deeply moving, even ecstatic experience, as the beatific Bernstein, now in his 80s, gently prods his students to greatness and delivers wise, sensitive observations about music and life.
Washington Post
Rating: B --
The great joy of the film, whether you know piano or not, is watching Bernstein teach.

Hawke wisely stands back, the better to allow his subject to emerge as he expresses the distilled wisdom of a lifetime as it bears upon the artistic enterprise and, in a grander sense, on how to live a life.
Hollywood Reporter
Rating: 3/4 --
Hawke's cinematic etude may not unlock all the mysteries of music, but "Seymour: An Introduction" is universal enough to be understood by a bananafish.
