Notes of Autumn (2023 TV Movie)

WHYYYY hasn't anyone commented on the horrible pianist fake?

[1/10 · 19 September 2023]

I get that concert pianists are probbbbbbably not hanging around Hallmark studios. But would it be too much to ask that an actress playing a concert pianist actually watch one or two to see how the hands actually - shock! - follow the direction in which the music is going, high or low? I mean, after all, she IS a Juilliard grad... My husband and I about fell out of our chairs laughing at the ridiculously poor portrayal of playing the piano. And then I just got mad at how horrendous the portrayal was, again, since it would be SO easy to fake a decently realistic performance. I'm also a bit tired of the ubiquitous gay storyline. Absolutely nothing organic happening here. And it made me sadder because I loved the whimsical scenes with the story characters waiting for their new storyline. We stuck it out in hopes of redemption; alas, there was none.
