Dennis F @RT75305464 Apr 10 The script is rather silly which makes this entire film a poor adventure in viewing and listening to some interesting modern music; moreover, it is also obvious that Wood knows nothing about classical music and likewise the director: A classical concert pianist would not refer to himself as a 'piano player!" Likewise, a formal classical pianist in performance with a symphony orchestra and conductor would have the piano on the same level and very near the conductor and NOT on three levels above the orchestra!! Silly and cheap thrills for the visual and the ugly lighting does not become this film. Having a pop singer singing a spiritual and in a cheap 'pop' manner certainly shows the ignorance of the director, producer and script writer for this poorly conceived and developed film concerning a so-called neurotic concert pianist; however, the portions of the piano concerto by a living composer is excellent and likewise the extremely difficult, Lacinquette, piece is most intriguing. Who is the actual concert pianist not listed in the credits in these performances?

See more ahmad m @ahmadmelhem 05/24/2022 Just wonderful. A timeless masterpiece. Both of them. See more 02/17/2022 The movie is called "Grand Piano." It involves a world class concert pianist playing a very complex piece of music with a symphony orchestra, in front of thousands of spectators. With that in mind, how and why on God's green Earth would the creative staff of this picture choose to have the alleged music in the climactic scene have such fundamental flaws? What poor Elijah Wood went through acting (no, really, you did great, Elijah-- I'm an actor as well as a pianist! Wonderful performance!) is completely and entirely eclipsed by what they got wrong, which is as follows: 1. What Elijah Wood plays does not match what the piano is actually heard to play in the live track. It's not even close. 2. What is actually heard to play in the live track does not match the sheet music on Elijah Wood's piano's desk. It's not even close. 3. The sheet music on Elijah Wood's piano's desk does not match what he appears to be playing visually. IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE. Honestly, do they think the MILLIONS OF ACTUAL MUSICIANS WHO WATCH THEIR MOVIES just... won't notice? It happens so often that it's refreshing to see when they actually DO get it right. And yes, we ALWAYS notice. The music, the act of creating the music, is very important to us. Please remember that. Two stars, solely for Elijah Wood. Seriously, it would be no stars at all without him. See more 12/16/2021 Highly entertaining and Elijah Wood is excellent in this role. There is some corny moments that happen but all that aside, it's a really solid film. I highly recommend you watch it.
