Despite the fact that the characters are perpetually jaunting off to the Swiss Alps and other romantic haut-bourgie locations, this is one of those films where nothing much seems to happen at all.

Coda is a great-looking film, filled with dagger-sharp dialogue, wonderful performances and, as you'd expect, a wondrous and heavenly score, courtesy of Bach and Beethoven, Chopin and Schubert.

No single event is fatally implausible, perhaps, but taken together it doesn't ring true.

Coda keeps things simple where and when it counts.
