unlabelledView post →The Sam Neill tributes will rightly focus on his achievements in Jurassic Park, The Piano, Hunt For the Wilderpeople etc. But he also gave what I think are three of the greatest horror movie performances of all time: Possession (1981), In The Mouth Of Madness (1994) and Event Horizon (1997) .
unlabelledView post →Recently my family was away for the weekend and I had myself a big ol physical media film festival for one. Over two days I watched Thief, Slacker, Singin In The Rain, The Piano, Malcolm X, Near Dark and Wild At Heart. That was one great freaking weekend.
unlabelledView post →I'm seeing a lot of posts expressing shock that a prestigey new film adaptation of August Wilson's The Piano Lesson just quietly went up on Netflix, and it's a good reminder that awards-buzz hype and commentary remains a very specific bubble that never reaches a huge number of movie lovers.
unlabelledView post →I’m reminded that THE PIANO LESSON is now on Netflix. It’s a film I find to be enrapturing, and also evocative of the fissures that systemic erasure and dispossession can cause within a Black family. My review.
unlabelledView post →"There he was, a Russian submarine captain in The Hunt for Red October....There he was in The Piano, an altogether different sort of movie in which he played an altogether different sort of character." And many more. ICYMI @sonnybunch.bsky.social on Sam Neill:
unlabelledView post →RIP Sam Neill, inspiration for *so* many young paleontologists, bemused jilted vicious husband in the Piano (I adore that film) but lately wise gentle wizard-like confiding friend of pigs and ducks on his farm. I’m so sad he’s left the planet. Go well across the duck pond 💔

unlabelledView post →4) The actors who missed--Daniel Craig for Queer, Danielle Deadwyler for The Piano Lesson, Angelina Jolie for Maria--testify to the difficulty of being the only campaigned element in a movie (though Maria did get a cinematography nomination). And Queer disappearing from theaters didn't help.
unlabelledView post →I'm fascinated by the pathology of people who comment on film posts with "I've never even heard of this movie," implying it's the movie's failing & not theirs. Just saw one such reply for THE PIANO. Okay then, so you're...ill-informed? Ignorant? Someone with zero interest in film? Perhaps go away?

It unseated Exhuma as my favorite horror film and I think John David Washington and Danielle Deadwyler give outstanding performances. It's on Netflix. Please watch it before you cast your ballots as critics.
