Why It Rocks

 * 1) Nice directing, especially during the parts that show footage showing the camera going inside clouds, and above farms throughout the Netherlands.
 * 2) Good performances by all of the artists listed below.
 * 3) Some cool scenes like the part where the violinist is playing and the thunderstorm occurs, and with some people in the forest and the scene with the swan.
 * 4) In some parts, the musicians' hair or clothes have a red or orange outline, which looks very cool.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The interviews are alright, but the time could've been used for more performances and shots of the audience.
 * 2) Some of the directing isn't very good, because in some parts, the film shows the audience more than the musicians.
