It is depressing, ruthlessly pained and depraved, the movie equivalent of staring into an open wound.

[Isabelle Huppert] outdoes herself.
Seattle Times

Is like The Graduate remade by David Lynch; it's no picnic to watch, but you can't look away.February 13, 2003
If genital mutilation, rape, incest and twisted acts of sexual gratification are your thing, then this is the film for you. Any takers?February 10, 2010
[Huppert gives] the single finest performance I have ever seen her give, and therefore almost by default one of the best of the decade.

This is a penetrating, deeply disturbing examination of desire and loneliness, of desperation and self-denial.
Detroit Free Press

It is as unlikely that you have ever seen another movie like The Piano Teacher as it is that you will ever want to see another one.August 13, 2004
A revolting and shocking work devoid of redemption and purpose.August 30, 2002
A gripping psychological thriller that, while lacking the power of Funny Games, is still the work of a master.July 28, 2006

Chicago Tribune

A striking, brilliant film with extraordinary performances -- and Huppert's acting is heartrending.
