Tom Selznick, the most talented pianist of his generation, stopped performing in public because of his stage fright. Years after a catastrophic performance, he reappears in public in a long awaited concert in Chicago.

“VIRTUOSIC - A DAZZLER! Infused with originality and expertly executed. The suspense is as taut and responsive as piano wire.” – Marjorie Baumgarten, The Austin Chronicle
“HUGELY ENTERTAINING! An acting and directing tour de force that holds the viewer in its vice-like grip from start to finish.” – Chris Tilly, IGN
“ENDLESSLY ENGAGING. It’s probably the best Brian De Palma movie he never made.” Todd Gilchrist – Playlist on Indiewire
“Disarmingly classy fun - slick, stylish and admirably fast-paced. The ‘thriller’ shelf would be a lot more interesting if half the movies were as well-made as Grand Piano.” – Scott Weinberg, Fearnet
“BREATHTAKING, DAZZLING, SPLENDID. An utter joy of high concept, artfully composed and absolutely thrilling pure cinema.” – Sam Zimmerman, Fangoria
“Grand Piano plays all the right notes for suspense, thrills and fun. A slick thriller that delivers suspense and laughs in equal measure.” – Justin Monroe, Complex
“THRILLING. Mira and cinematographer Unax Mendia are constantly pulling off carefully orchestrated shots and marvelous feats of camera movement, applying the same type of sweeping, operatic bravura that Brian De Palma applies to everything he does.” – Eric Snider, Twitch
“Just spectacular. If you love a great thriller, they rarely ever thrill like this one!” – Harry Knowles, Ain’t It Cool
