Interesting story! Great performances by Holly Hunter, Harvey Keitel, Sam Neill, Anna Paquin, Kerry Walker, and Geneviève Lemon. A good solid story. Sometimes you just need a good story to a movie rather than explosions and killing. This movie is for someone with a higher culture to them.

I will never understand how Jane Campion is considered one of the most feminist directors in the industry when her most famous film is a romantic depiction of a women with literally no fucking voice being swept off her feet by a guy who ransoms her piano for sexual favours. I'm sorry, but that is absurd.

A well-acted and heart breaking 19th-century drama that says a lot about the way women were viewed, mistreated, and controlled by men during its time period.
