What to Know

Critics Consensus

Reminiscent of Hitchcock and Chabrol, The Page Turner is elegant yet suspenseful, a revenge potboiler of a high degree.

Ron R Jul 27, 2008 The Page Turner is an exercise in restraint, patience, and cold hearted revenge. A young girl's pianist dreams are shattered by a judge, and when she grows older she decides to enact revenge. Its a slow burn, but effective and chilling. See more
