Grand Piano is so tense in its best moments -- and appealingly strange overall -- that it remains rewarding in spite of its flaws. Read critic reviews

Audience Reviews for Grand Piano
-
The premise (piano player is forced to flawlessly play a ridiculously difficult piece in front of live audience - or get shot) is pretty cool. Of course it also creates a problem for the film: build the tension with lots of music and images, or explain it to pieces. Sadly, it's the latter here. The film is still entertaining and doesn't drag out the premise over more than 80 minutes, but it's also a little silly, at times. When you accept it's little more than a B-movie, you can enjoy it enough, but maybe the idea could have even been something huge, given the right creators.

Intriguing, until you find out what's actually going on, at which point it all falls apart and makes little sense.

I didn't buy the central conceit for one moment and some of the character interactions are *baffling* (particularly those of the secondary players), but damnit if Grand Piano isn't superbly directed and wonderfully scored.

Tense enough and with some good moments here and there, this thriller manages to entertain despite (or because of) its heavy-handed direction and a ludicrous plot whose greatest problems include a villain whose motives are ridiculous and a lame third act where little makes sense.
