Grand Piano

"Wood (...) keeps the action grounded in quasi-naturalistic melodrama rather than schlocky excess (...) The late arrival of John Cusack is an energy boost but hardly a surprise (...) Together they elevate a risibly ridiculous plot into something akin to a pulp symphony." 

"'Grand Piano' turns the unlikeliest of scenarios into a riveting battle of wills (...) [it] expands the boundaries of single-location, real-time mysteries (...) with a brilliantly simple concept and nimble, elegant style." 

"Once you accept that 'Grand Piano' is B-movie pulp, there’s a certain amount of fun to be had" 

"A tidy and tension-filled exercise in terror (...) It is easy to appreciate the grandly ambitious attempt at old-school filmmaking that Mira has somehow pulled off (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"[An] appealingly absurd thriller (...) The execution, however, is akin to a less kinked-out Brian De Palma potboiler" 

"[Mira] keeps you riveted even as the script, by Damien Chazelle, defies credulity at every turn (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"It’s more like a billboard than a film. But the introductory scenes do have a certain enjoyable flair before it all collapses into gibberish (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
