4/5
"here the business of revenge is as measured and well-tempered as a piano score, and it will turn out that Melanie's Bach is far worse than any bite."  musicOMH.com  Anton Bitel

3/4
"More than earns its presumptuous double entendre of a title."  Film Freak Central  Bill Chambers

2.5/5
"Drained bourgeois chill is so 2001."  Filmcritic.com  Chris Cabin

"This quiet eighty-five-minute revenge suspenser dances to the essentials of music in cadence, pauses, tension balanced against relaxation."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Donald J. Levit

B
"Though the influence of Chabrol is apparent in Dercourt's film, it's more than a mere encore; it's an inventive composition in its own right."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

3/5
"An elegantly constructed and acted French film about revenge and what is lost in the act of bringing others down."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

"The serving temperature of revenge has seldom been colder, nor the time of preparation longer, than for this gourmet French plat froid from writer-director Denis Dercourt."  Film.com  Jonathan F. Richards

B
"The Page Turner is a good, though not great, thriller that does not as much surprise as it does satisfy with its outcome."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

"With gentle plotting the intensity builds and builds until it all boils over."  Calgary Movies  Ryan Cracknell
