Full Plot Details

Twenty-eight-year-old Tom leads a life that might be termed as criminal. In doing so, he follows in the footsteps of his father, who made his money from dirty, and sometimes brutal, real estate deals. Tom is a pretty hard-boiled guy but also strangely considerate as far as his father is concerned. Somehow he appears to have arrived at a critical juncture in his life when a chance encounter prompts him to take up the piano and become a concert pianist, like his mother. He senses that this might be his final opportunity to take back his life. His piano teacher is a Chinese piano virtuoso who has recently come to live in France. She doesn't speak a lick of French so music becomes the only language they have in common. Before long, Jacques' bid to be a better person means that he begins to yearn for true love. But, when he finally has the chance of winning his best friend's wife, his passion only succeeds in scaring her. And then, one day, his dubious past comes to light...

Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Kenneth TuranWhat has resulted is a blistering film you feel in the pit of your stomach, a jumpy, edgy piece of work that thrusts us into a personal maelstrom so tortured and intense, the emotions could be spread with a knife.
The New York Times - 10/10 by Manohla DargisAudiard's superb remake improves on the original significantly, investing it with aesthetic grandeur and emotional depth.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 9/10 by Steven ReaBeautifully shot, in long, fluid takes, The Beat That My Heart Skipped is that rare thing: a remake that improves on its source.
Boston Globe - 9/10 by Ty BurrThe film confirms director Audiard as a master of visual mood, in this case one of barely expressed emotional panic.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael WilmingtonIt's a thriller that comes at you with gut-clutching ferocity, spewing blood and sex, shaking you up and scrambling your responses.
Wall Street Journal - 9/10 by Joe MorgensternAudiard's take is fevered, immediate, and hopeful--a story of a man recovering his soul. The most intense and compelling sections of The Beat are almost word for word from "Fingers" (albeit translated into French), but this beat changes everything.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumIt's more than a simple improvement, inverting some of the original's qualities so that the impersonal, well-crafted filmmaking remains lucid throughout.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Ann HornadayA nifty piece of work -- with, by the way, a fantastic musical score and soundtrack -- that, if there's any justice in the movie world, will eventually earn a mystique all its own.
Film Threat - 8/10 by Rick KisonakFrom the performances of its first rate cast to the infectious score and Audiard's deft direction, this is one of the most accomplished movies you'll see anytime soon-old, new or, as is the case here, combining the best of both.
Dallas Observer - 8/10 by Jean OppenheimerA character study, the film succeeds in large measure due to the kinetically charged performance of Romain Duris.
