What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

Silence and music have an interesting relationship, a fact oft reiterated but rarely practised. Here's a film that respects both. Go to Full Review John Monaghan Detroit Free Press 12/07/2007

01/31/2016 Frenchie suspense thriller about passion, seduction & revenge. See more 09/21/2014 This icy-cold thriller is driven by impressive performances. It suffers from being too simplistic and relying on coincidences that push the boundaries of plausibility, and complete lack of suspense - it becomes apparent early on where the story is going. See more 06/04/2014 Really enjoyed this movie. Liked the main lead. Very subtle in her revenge (unlike how a Hollywood movie would be). Very effective. See more ma'ark t 02/28/2014 Great use of suspense throughout. See more 07/28/2013 Sophisticated psychological thriller is stylish-looking but empty. See more 05/25/2013 Revenge is indeed best served cold! This is definitely one of the best psychological thrillers I've seen in a long time. See more Read all reviews
