This is doubtless a wonderful thing to hear if you truly want to be a fund manager. If, like Millie, your most cherished ambition is to be an opera singer, it feels more like your head ruthlessly selling out your heart, leaving your voice stranded somewhere in the exchange. As for which ultimately wins out, expect no surprises in \u201cFalling for Figaro,\u201d a corny, cute-enough carpe diem comedy, in which it\u2019s a lovable ensemble \u2014 led by Danielle Macdonald, and spiked by a deliciously imperious Joanna Lumley \u2014 that brings the grace notes to a pretty standard-issue <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>An Industry Selects offering at Toronto last year, now getting a quiet multiplatform release via IFC Films in the U.S., \u201cFalling for Figaro\u201d finds \u201cThe Sessions\u201d director Ben Lewin on livelier form than his intervening pair of helmer-for-hire projects \u201cThe Catcher Was a Spy\u201d and \u201cPlease Stand By.\u201d This British-American-Australian production is likeliest to hit its stride on streaming. In the U.K., where it\u2019s set, the gray-pound audience may give it brighter theatrical prospects.<\/p>\n<p>For Australian thesp Macdonald, who has been cast to variable effect since breaking out in the 2017 Sundance favorite \u201cPatti Cake$,\u201d this very different musical project continues to prove her unaffected warmth as a performer in a variety of surroundings. It\u2019s quite a leap, after all, from grimy New Jersey rapping to trilling (or ably lip-synching, rather) her way through \u201cTwinkle Twinkle Little Star\u201d in a sequined evening gown. We first see her gazing rapt at a soprano in full flight at London\u2019s Royal Opera House. That her boyfriend and co-worker Charlie (Shazad Latif) is napping on her shoulder is the film\u2019s first unsubtle clue that they might not be soulmates.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s certainly not on her wavelength when she announces, right after being handed a lofty promotion, that she intends to quit her finance job, and see where her vocal cords take her. The amateur opera competition Singer of Renown is several months away, and she wants to give it her best shot. She can\u2019t do it alone, however, which is where crotchety, hard-to-please voice coach Meghan Geoffrey-Bishop (Lumley) comes in. Based in a remote village in the Scottish Highlands, she doesn\u2019t come cheap, and has a reputation for tormenting her students to the point of breakdown, but she allegedly gets results.<\/p>\n<p>And so Millie heads north for a crash course in Callas and country living, weathering the haughty demands of Meghan and the earthy skepticism of local landlord Ramsey (Gary Lewis) to find her own voice. Will she succeed? Will her initial rivalry with Meghan\u2019s other prot\u00e9g\u00e9, awkwardly adorable Max (a delightful Hugh Skinner), blossom into something closer? Have a guess. Needless to say, while Millie professes to love opera because she\u2019s \u201cdrawn to the irresistible tragedy of it all,\u201d \u201cFalling for Figaro\u201d isn\u2019t on anything like the same trajectory.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a good thing Macdonald is so grounded and engaging, because Millie\u2019s plight isn\u2019t especially high-stakes, and only modestly sympathetic. Leaving behind a lavishly paid white-collar career to spend a small fortune on singing tuition for a shot at the spotlight isn\u2019t the most classic of stars-in-their-eyes narratives. It\u2019s a little disappointing that Lewin\u2019s film does nothing to subvert the latter-day perception of opera as an art for the elite.<\/p>\n<p>Still, if you\u2019re going to lean into the poshness of it all, who better than Lumley to take the grande dame role? With lacquered hair and a perennial expression of frozen disdain, she\u2019s a scream as she terrorizes her minions with barked orders and hissed insults: \u201cThe future for you is a typical cruise ship with regular burials at sea,\u201d she admonishes Millie early on, after one perfectly proficient aria. That anyone might have the courage to continue singing after that cut-down is just one of this pleasantly dopey, easy-on-the-ear film\u2019s many gentle implausibilities.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
