Absolute brilliance

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2003)

I rarely ever spend my time posting a review for a movie but after having watched The Pianist I feel compel to do so.
This is easily the best movie I have since in a long time. Definitely the best Holocaust movie. Easily the best war movie. The directing and acting were brilliant. Some of the scenes are so memorable. The piano works by Chopin are ever so beautifully rendered.
It is a shame that a movie like this one is only showing in limited release in a city like Toronto while Maid in Manhattan, Just Married, and other Hollywood junk are showing everywhere and breaking the box office.
