This is an absolute masterpiece by Polanski. Adrian Brody has never shone before or since (even in the Darjeeling Limited). I highly recommend.

I won't fault this is a powerful film, but it didn't have the impact that Schindler's List did. Adrian Brody's finest performance - the pacing is the only thing that bothered me.

Polansky own personal vision of the Holocaust is obviously unique. The story of the pianist is sad, and yet encouring. Actually, what story from a Holocaust, is not a lesson of human strength and fight against totalitarism, racism and alienation? All of the are. So, Brody here takes very, very personal the issue, and portrays with all the needed emotion this character. This movie is perfect. It contains maybe the best end titles ever. A must see.

A great movie, but not as good as "Schindler's List" as some say. Performances are great, but it misses the dismal fact of war and the others involved, until the end.
