This is a rather unique movie. The story is fascinating, the directing is very good and Holly Hunter gives the best perfomance of her career. Definitely worth a look.

Time well spent

Pretentious, with stunning cinematography. Great for arguments.

Hunter truly shows that acting isn't just words...

This film really inspired me because obviously it is quite a disturbing film but it is really a beautiful film to that people can look at in different ways. I think the main inspiration for me of this film was that Ada used her piano to express herself and to show her beautiful colours but after she loves it so much, it sort of takes over her life. It made me feel really tense because of Adas affa... read more

"This film was absolutely amazing. And I can't get over Holly Hunter's performance, she left me speechless, and she didn't even dialogue! Absolutely incredible. I genuinely wish I could find the words to express how amazed I was. And Anna Paquin! She was only little back then, but to be honest it's the best performance she's ever given! Also, where is Harvey Keitel's Oscar nomination? "

"After watching this as my second Jane Campion film - the first being Bright Star - I can confidently conclude that her greatest strength as a writer/director lies in her ability to juxtapose difficult themes and subjects with lush scenery and breathtaking cinematography. The Piano conveys a literally voiceless woman who must remain strong amid her pained circumstances. It is a bit strange, yet intelligently elaborate, and intensifies at it progresses. Holly Hunter and Harvey Keitel both surprise"
