Summary: Mélanie Prouvost, a ten-year-old butcher's daughter, is a gifted piano player. That is why her parents and herself decide that she sit for the Conservatory entrance exam. Mélanie is very likely to be admitted, unfortunately she gets distracted by the president of the jury's offhand attitude and she fails. Ten years later, Mélanie becomes the former president of the jury's page turner, waiting patiently to be revenged... (imdb.com)

This girl is evil. Pure evil. Narrated in a way quite different from nearly all thrillers.

Good plot and excellent performances. The script itself is a good start, but seems to becomes too satisfied with its clever premise and fails to build much upon it. Great ideas are hinted at but never executed. Ultimately an unrewarding film.

An elegant dash of Hitchcock plus a sassy lesbian sideplot does it for this french gem.

Wow, what a film. It is truly rare to see a film with music so masterfully woven into the plot and character development. The final scene is unreal.

such a beautiful movie. I'm loving the elegant, intense scenes of ambience with almost no action or lines.

There's a moment I love right at the end of this film, where Déborah François's character is walking away from the house with this killer look on her face, a look that says "I dedicated my whole life to revenge, and now I got it, but look what a person it's made me". That look makes the performance, makes the character, makes the movie. This interesting if slow-burning character study becomes 10 times greater thanks to that single scowling moment. Thank you, Déborah and Denis Dercourt.

Dubbed a thriller by IMDb, The Page Turner is really anything but considering its slow-burn, methodical pacing and low-key acting performances. Director Decourt succeeds in making his 85-minute piece pass briskly by, but the abscence of anything memorably unique or unforeseen in his movie qualifies The Page Turner as a truly unrewarding flick - all build-up, no pay-off. The music wins and performances are worthy, but the movie's always so unspectacular that these triumphs are incidental.

This movie is an odd ball since it should be drama, but it's kind of thriller, but not even that. You are waiting all the time when IT will happened. And when it does (or does it?), there is nothing thrilling about it. Such an emotionless flick.
