The Pianist (2002) ⭐ 8.5 | Biography, Drama, Music

The Pianist (2002) is a heavy but incredible film.

Adrian Brody’s performance is just unreal, he really nails the emotional weight of Szpilman’s story. The film’s quiet moments where he’s just surviving, often alone, hit hard. The direction is solid, and the way they show the devastation of Warsaw really pulls you in. That piano scene? Chilling. It’s a tough watch, but it’s one of those films that sticks with you.
