Our take
The Choral (2025) is a film. It is rated R. As World War I rages on, Dr. Henry Guthrie takes over a British choral society that's lost most of its men to the army. The community soon discovers that the best response to the chaos of war is to make beautiful music together. Expect strong language, action violence, drinking and drugs. Best for mature older teens and adults
