The Piano Lesson streaming on Netflix is a hauntingly excellent film that builds to a cathartic climax that will leave you breathless. The film shows its theatrical roots at the beginning but slowly becomes more cinematic. Danielle Deadwyler is brilliant. The movie centerpiece is the piano and how it impacts the characters.
