Broken Keys by Jimmy Keyrouz is wonderful and very well made. Cinematography and directing are at their best! The actors did a great job portraying the atrocities of the Syrian war and the terrorism that frightened the country. It's a story of hope portrayed by a piano, by the love of music not matter what! The movie wouldn't be complete without the music of the great Gabriel Yared! He doesn't disappoint!

Not to be missed. Broken keys is filled with beauty, hope and resistance, in the face of obscurantism. A breathtaking journey, wonderfully served by performing actors embodying rich characters, highly convincing. A beautiful music facing the machine of war...

I heard the movie asking for more time, maybe double the given runtime. A time to build every single character correctly, especially Abdallah. You can't leave an important character to us in such a confusing situation and without any return to his own past. Why is he confounded like that? Like he's doing things he never wanted to do. Also a time to feel the hug between two adventurers! A time to live a little bit with that piece of piano. Anw.. beautiful ending. Still thinking about ziad, the young intelligent hopeful boy. I thought he was going to fight more, like screaming, or maybe fighting kareem before closing his final scene.

Jimmy Keyrouz's powerful, award-winning, factually inspired, moving, gut-wrenching, well-written, tension-filled, heartbreaking, violent, 110-minute, 2020 film based on his 2016 short movie Nocturne in Black in which a talented, endangered pianist (Tarek Yaacoub), who lives in a bombed-out building with his wannabe lawyer cousin (Sara Abi Kanaan) in a war-ravaged, ISIS-controlled Syrian town where music is forbidden, decides to fix his mother's bullet-ridden piano with the help of a Kurdish resistance soldier (Rola Beksmati) to sell to his shop owner boss (Mounir Maasri) to earn money to pay a smuggler so that he can hopefully twinkle the keys in an European orchestra and to help a resilient, orphaned boy (Ibrahim El Kurdi) have a life he deserves while working with the underground resistance to defeat terrorizing Islamist extremist fighters (Julian Farhat, et al.).
