Movie Reviews of The Piano
Movie Review: Difficult, not for everyone, deep and moving.
Summary: 5 Stars
Maybe it is only because I play keyboards, or perhaps it is that the music I create is one of my few outlets for feeling that this film affected me as it has. This is a dark, moody film. The performance by Holly Hunter is stunning (and she's not a bit flat-chested!) and the story is far deeper than a dime store romance. Ada speaks and emotes through her playing of her piano. This film shows the difference between an insensitive boor (her husband) and an uneducated man who knows how to listen and to love. Feminists will dislike that Ada is treated as possesion (common for the era). Male chauvinists will choke on the demonstrated need to not merely use, but instead to understand and love a woman. The idea of not being able to express one's feelings should touch everyone. (This review is based upon the Laserdisk release of the film)
