I must confess I always have difficulty with some of the made for TV movies that I get to watch on my pay tv channels here in Australia.
The Piano lesson is once such movie.
The story line seems to have no real purpose other than a sibling squabble over a family piano. And I am not sure as to what the "supernatural" element to the movie is supposed to do in relation to enhancing the story. Without the absurdity of this, it may have passed as an acceptable "Afro american" period movie.
I am not a big Charles Dutton fan and I feel there is an element of overacting at times with his character who I dislike more and more as the movie goes on.
For me a 4/10 and that was being kind
