Could've been good

Rating: 5/10 (25 July 2003)

THE PIANO is a totally bizarre film but doesn't quite click. It could have been a tender and moving masterpiece and I know some people think of it in that way but I don't. Anna Paquin and Harvey Keitel do their best not to make Scottish accents sound like Willy from The Simpsons and as a Scottish person I thank them for that. It's interesting viewing but a little dull. You may feel compelled to watch it again no matter what you think of it. PS: My dad thinks its sick (?)
