It is the mid-nineteenth century. Ada cannot speak and she has a young daughter, Flora. In an arranged marriage she leaves her native Scotland accompanied by her daughter and her beloved piano. Life in the rugged forests of New Zealand's North Island is not all she may have imagined and nor is her relationship with her new husband Stewart. She suffers torment and loss when Stewart sells her piano to a neighbor, George. Ada learns from George that she may earn back her piano by giving him piano lessons, but only with certain other conditions attached. At first Ada despises George but slowly their relationship is transformed and this propels them into a dire situation.
Leave your thoughts about The Piano.
| Times (UK)Kevin MaherThe film is a masterclass in dramatic structure and rolls through Campion's meticulous screenplay beats with effortless elan, right up to the axe-wielding climax. Almost the perfect film. |
| The New YorkerAnthony LaneThe Piano confirms Campion as a major talent, an uncompromising filmmaker with a very personal and specific vision. |
| Cinema SightWesley LovellA melancholy film exploring the despair and passion that arises from difficult situations. |
| Irish TimesTara BradyHunter's gothic heroine is complemented by Stuart Dryburgh's dark cinematography and gaspingly restrictive widowy petticoats. |
| New York TimesVincent CanbyMs. Campion somehow suggests states of mind you've never before recognized on the screen. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawHunter's performance is outstanding. So is the film. |
| Little White LiesHannah WoodheadAs tender, remarkable and sincere as drama comes. |
| Common Sense MediaDavid GurneyCharged tale of a woman's awakening for older teens and up. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonA stunning mood piece and a haunting adult fairy tale. |
| JWRS. James WeggIntriguing and thoughtful - a beautiful tone |
