Piano Lesson - not so good
Posted by: singleticket 05:58 pm EST 12/03/24

An embarrassment of Washingtons. Denzel produced it and his two sons respectively star and direct. An awkward mix of stage acting, pitched very high from the beginning and covered mostly by the default shaky cam in close shots. The screenplay illustrates everything in the past and slows the play down. Not awful (it still has Samuel Jackson in it) but another industry deal that arrived at the finished product without much insight or inspiration.
