Movie Reviews of The Piano
Movie Review: The Piano
Summary: 5 Stars
Set in the 19th century, Jane Campion's brilliant period tale "The Piano" was rightly lauded in 1993 for its eccentric storyline and otherworldly, dreamlike atmosphere. Despite never uttering a word, Oscar winner Hunter exudes intelligence and determination as the rebellious Ada, along with a repressed yet combustible sensuality. Anna Paquin is a marvel in her debut, exemplifying the mix of spunk and knowingness that made her a sought-after young star. Visually ravishing and exquisite, "The Piano" is Campion's visually poetic ode to our unspoken emotions.Movie Review: One star because of the music
Summary: 1 Stars
The Piano bombed. The only positive part about this movie is the music. The parts that some might consider erotic had me reeking. If you like to read maybe you should read this book, for fiery romance, erotic excitement and a good story. While reading it play a CD with lovely piano music. See the link.At My Father's Knee Movie Review: One of the great romantic films of all time
Summary: 5 Stars
As an aspiring filmmaker, I was informed by a colleague to watch THE PIANO because of the unique story behind this low-budget film. When I had watched this film it literally blew me away: the acting, photography, location, and the music. The music was so haunting and beautiful, I embarked out ot purchase the soundtrack. Holly Hunter was spectacular and Anna Paquin well deserved the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1993. I recommed this film to anyone, if you are the individual who believes nothing of cinema: Watch it once. You must at least see the film in order to view the contemporary aspects of the cultural differences of the Piano.Movie Review: A Major Disappointment
Summary: 2 Stars
This movie chronicles a somewhat trite story, surrounding an adulturous relationship. It does, however have a few redeeming qualities, such as the beautiful music and very beautiful scenery, for the setting. Unfortunately, I don't feel inclined to recommend the purchase of this DVD, since it lacks substance...Movie Review: Not for me
Summary: 1 Stars
I first saw this movie around 1994. Generally, I love moody, period pieces, but I disliked this film initially and disliked it again when I decided to give it a second try in 2007.
I find the film pretentious and offputting. The only semi-sympathetic character is Sam Neill's. And I find the notion of non-con sex that blossoms into "love" not only disturbing but repugnant. My daughter watched it with me this time and as soon as the piano lessons began, she commented: "I'm officially checking out."
