Entertainment Reviews:
3 stars out of 5 -- [I]t’s attacked with zest by Spanish director Mira, who serves up some impressive visual flourishes...
Total Film
3 stars out of 4 -- This thriller set in a concert hall is a stunt, but a damn good one. Maybe risk hasn't died yet in filmmaking.
Rolling Stone
Rating: 2/4 --
"Grand Piano" is an ambitious effort that plays dumb.

Boston Globe
GRAND PIANO fixates on the extreme measures one person takes to drive a young musician to perfection....Constructing a pulpy thriller around the pressures of the job.
A.V. Club
Rating: 4/5 --
Grand Piano may be little more than a good-looking B-movie, but it's done with skill, creativity and a shrewd understanding of the genre, meaning it deserves at least one encore, if not a standing ovation.

CineVue
Mira's immersive shot compositions are the real star, a diverting grab bag of Hitch/DePalma tricks...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 7/10 --
A tense, suspense-filled thriller with an element of the underdog about it.

Product Description:
Eugenio Mira's thriller GRAND PIANO centers on Tom Selznick (Elijah Wood), a famous concert pianist who hasn't played in public in five years -- he had a meltdown during his last performance while trying to tackle an allegedly impossible piece, which was composed by his eccentric mentor Godureaux. Now he's about to reenter the limelight with a high-profile concert, his movie-star wife (Kerry Bishé) watching him from the balcony, and every person he encounters wants to know if he's afraid of choking (we're thankfully spared the scene where Tom runs into someone viewing his past failure on YouTube, which has become the hack screenwriter's shorthand for "public humiliation"). An already nerve-racking challenge is made surreally worse when, while on-stage, Tom realizes that his sheet music is covered with threatening messages, stating that if he misses one note he'll be killed. Soon he's communicating via earpiece with an unseen madman with a sniper rifle, who tells him that he must attempt the impossible piece again or he and his wife are dead.
