Holly Hunter stars as Ada McGrath, a mute but strong-willed 19th-century Scottish expatriate who arrives in New Zealand with her daughter (Anna Paquin) and her beloved piano in tow. Although betrothed to a landowner (Sam Neill), she's pulled into an affair with a laborer (Harvey Keitel). Hunter and Paquin both won Oscars for their performances in this haunting drama from writer-director Jane Campion.

3 stars. Music was good. Ada didn't have any expression to her face when she signed. It was hard to tell if she was happy, sad, or what! This movie was a little slow for me, i couldn't watch it. I may try again cause it did intrigue me..
