Leave your thoughts about The Pianist.
| Washington PostStephen HunterA beautiful story, told in measured cadences by a master of old-timey narrative compression and expression. |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea Chase(Brody's] performance is a marvel of wary tenacity and unquenchable humanity. |
| The Film YapNick RogersAs the ghetto atrocities increase, Roman Polanski gets to the core of his brilliance as a director - his ability to balance the film's exterior nightmares with Szpilman's internal hell. |
| tonymedley.comTony MedleyAs a result of the attention to detail and commitment of Polanski and Brody, this is a harrowing, realistic story of what it was like to live in the Warsaw Ghetto and under Nazi occupation. |
| Three Movie BuffsScott NashBy comparison, Schindler's List is Pretentious Hollywood crap. |
| Blogcritics.orgAlan Dale[I]t takes six or seven people to keep one half-dead Jew alive.... Wladyslaw's situation is extraordinary but what's happening on screen doesn't really feel so extraordinary. There's almost no emphasis, no point of view. |
| Common Sense MediaNell MinowTrue story of a Jewish pianist; OK for older kids. |
| NetflixJames RocchiOne man's true story set against the Holocaust is a haunting, beautiful tale of humanity, horror and hope. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinPolanski shows us some surreally devastatrng visions and the film's ultimate "message" is one of unalloyed hope and faith in the power of humans to - finally, at last - behave humanely. |
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionEleanor Ringel CaterIn creating his one-man epic, Polanski takes us beyond the horror of evil or the banality of evil. He takes us into its hideous absurdity. |
