Steineded How sad is this?
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Panagiotis Stavropoulos This movie is simply excellent.It shows the pain,the horror,the feeling of insecurity that comes along with war in a haunting way.
cchin-54665 Beautiful and Stunning Movie. The performance was breathtaking and just the picture it self created a wide array of emotions for viewers.
sakram You can't believe how much I liked this movie, as a pianist myself, and without having read the about-summary, I expected it to be piano-exclusive kind of movie. I was wrong, but then, I was lucky. It turned out to be a real adaption for Wladyslaw Szpilman's miserable attempt to survive the dense era of the World War 2, and oh boy was it intense ! I felt like I am in Szpilman's shoes ! The movie is long, and detailed, it depicts everything, it makes you feel everything. And man, the ending, I had goosebumps, it was wonderful, I love how they cut the "Chopin's Ballade No.1" piece, they removed the happy parts, and kept only the relieving-then-intense parts. It is just beautiful. (This is no spoiler by no means)May you rest in peace Wladyslaw Szpilman, You are a legend, and your life made a great legendary movie !9/10
eufr The movie is spectacular and you can imagine the hard world to Judes people in this time. You can imagine the difficulties to them. You mustsee this movie! In my TOP, I have any doubt abut this. The pianist can transmite th++his feelings with his sad eyes and with his very but very sad music playing in piano. The atmosphere in this time was so terrible and it possible for us to imagine are in them own places. Very similar like Schindler list. I love this movie. Very good!
