“Play it for me.” And then he plays that. Very poetic.

As a musician myself the transition in his confidence when he plays is perfect. It's so real and relatable. He starts stiff in his playing and his voice isn't relaxed. As he moves through the song his confidence builds, his singing loosens up and his playing relaxes. You start to hear little fills and then nearing the end his singing is beautiful and he's busting out riffs on the piano. Such a great scene!

The expression on her face as she realizes she's the man-eater gets me every time. 10/10 acting

In the middle of a movie not meant to be taken seriously, is this powerful little scene that hits hard. Great cover of "Maneater" as well.

Her visceral reaction to him performing and how it relates to their relationship was proof she is a fantastic actor.

I know this is just a movie, and this is simply a scene in the script, but watching Jennifer absorb the gravity of that song, the way the camera moves in, the way the muscles clinch in her neck, and she does this tense swallow and looks around fearing she is being judged at that moment is such a powerful scene, it’s quite captivating. I’m not sure what constitutes watching this too many times, but I may be there or beyond that.

the lyrics hit her hard, cus that’s exactly what she be doing 😂

This was done in one take. He nailed it

Director: Ok J law, we're gonna need you to convey anticipation, joy, surprise, admiration, reflection, realization, regret, shame, admiration again, self-disgust, and just a hint of self-consciousness. And you can only use your eyes. J law: yo word This, people, is the kind of talent you can only get with an academy award winning actress.

If there was an Oscar category for "best scene in a movie," I think this would win hands down. The lighting is impeccable, the camera moves and editing sublime, and everything in the script has set us up for this surprise moment in which Maddie witnesses Percy's innocence, talent, and beauty; she is stripped emotionally naked, more naked than in the beach scene. He "kills her softly" with his song, while unaware of what he's actually doing to her. Her acting in this scene: seeing her machinations and their effects laid bare, and underneath it her true self, her appreciation of him, is almost breathtaking. And we, as the audience (most of us unfamiliar with Andrew Feldman's musical talents) are picking our collective jaws off the floor. Consider that somehow just prior, we were along for the ride when he clung for his life, naked, on the hood of her car as she evaded the police. Now, suddenly, he's in a tuxedo, turning a Hall & Oates pop-song into a vulnerable heart-piercing ballad. This is one of those "under the radar" movies that is, perhaps for this scene alone, unforgettable. Kudos and thank you to all who made it. The script doesn't let go, as she asks afterwards, "What are you?" It might be a silly and implausible movie, but everybody brought their "A" game, and it shows!

People gave Jennifer such a hard time from going from A list movies and Oscar winning roles to a “comedy” - nah this was more than that! Proving she is still such an amazing actor who breaks barriers! Her emotion in this scene is everything!!! Their chemistry was perfect!! 10/10

This scene gives me goosebumps everytime...just incredible

I watch a lot of movies. This particular scene is the best I have seen in a long time. The acting from both is Oscar worthy in my opinion. She expressed so much emotion without moving or speaking it is really one for the books. His cover of the song is one for the ages.

Probably one of the best scenes in the movie

The way he keeps looking at the crowd at the beginning and then focusing on her as he finds his groove is really good acting.

I love how she put him on the spot only for him to turn it around and put her on the spot in front of everyone.

This is an unbelievable scene, amazing rendition of this song.

The build up to this scene was great. They both had different interpretation to this songs meaning and the hidden context of the stories plot is what made this a great scene. Also, her acting was great.

The cinematography in this is so simple and yet utterly brilliant. The way the camera moves in on her just shows you her vulnerability behind the facade. I've not seen the film yet but I'll certainly be adding it to the list.

That slow zoom in during the piano forte and JLaw emotions is chef's kiss

She felt a personal attack… she knew ❤

As someone who grew up in the 80's i never really payed attention to the lyrics up until now, didnt really noticed how deep it was.

That little look he gives when he sings love, we’ve all been there

No lines for Jennifer, but the look on her face, her head turns, her glances around the room, and her overwhelming surprise at the song and his talent that you can 'read' on her face and in her eyes speak volumes! Great scene! Well shot, well acted! ❤

For people discussing this….he is still clueless at this point. He did not aim this at her. He simply learned a song they had talked about. The song just happened to be about a woman like her. This is all about her self realization.

You gotta admit Jennifer Lawrence is one of the best actresses of her generation. The amount of emotion she can portray while just sitting there is astounding. Andrew Barth Feldman is an amazing musician as well.

Excellent work by him. He certainly wowed her.

love it...beautiful arrangement. Best version of this song ever

This is the deepest scene of the movie. So much good writing and acting here.

I just found this and I am addicted! This kid needs to put out more songs like this song! The fact that this was live and in one take was amazing!

This is beautifully played. He sounds amazing. But OUCH! That cut her deep

cried watching this, it was so totally unexpected at the moment in the movie, and such a great cover...and her face....

song writing, song writing, song writing.... a simple 80's Hall and Oats song... but break it down, really listen to the song....and it has an incredible impact... to go along with the amazing singing and acting.

Never heard this before. UKposts brought this up itself, and I thank the algorithm for it. This is amazing, the acting upfront, the change you see in both characters as the song progresses, and it is sung intensely well... I really want to see this movie/show now. Gotta look it up

Just watched this in Black and White on a monochrome mode on my phone, honestly straight perfection

He's got a real Ben Folds feel going on here. Brilliant

“what are you” 😭

She’s a wonderful actress, the emotion she portrays in this seen while he’s playing is undeniable.

This may seem weird but I'm fascinated by the acting of the guy at the round table on the foreground left. You can see him slowly becoming interested. He is actually about to say something to his date but stops to turn and listen to Percy. I wonder how rehearsed that was and if they did multiple takes to get that guy's reaction right. Maybe he overdid it just a tad, because I probably shouldn't be paying that much attention to him and yet his reaction is very logical. It's just a one of these many small perfect details that make me love this movie.

Very good piano skills, a true Masterpiece, lovely song and voice. Reminds me of Beatrice, the Golden Witch. 😊

For the girl, its awakening. For the boy its growth & maturity. Both of them are meant to meet for those reasons. How poinant.

This entire scene was made perfectly; the acting, performance and what not, just perfect.

Genuinly good movie. with heart and this is one of the better scenes. Amd hearing the lyics of this classic in this slowed down version make you realize how genius the song is.

I love the scene and agree both did a damn amazing job of making me have all the feels.. but what I love most is the comments here, they’re all so supportive and complimentary..

Indeed the best scene in this movie 👏👏👏👏

The "Watching and waiting" pause is solid gold.

I'm no good about music, but been watching this for more than 50 times. The piano is so "touching"...his voice is so soothing at my ear. The feel is amazing.. Thank you.

I just love this gal, includes everyone in the view of life! I'll bet she's a great human being in private as well!

She acted this part phenomenally. She knew the words fit her exactly... the subtle camera action moving into her was brilliant.

This is good movie making right here. A silly, no-holds-barred style comedy, with this scene casually thrown into it - just to make sure and remind us how ridiculously talented these two actors actually are.

Stunning, they are fabulous.🙂🙂❤️❤️💯💯

He plays this song with passion his voice is amazing and his talent on the piano is second to none brilliant

This movie has to be thee best movie I’ve ever seen or at least in a long time. Beautiful scene and honestly adorable vibes in the movie. I watched it last night and might watch it again if I can watch it with someone that never seen it before. Also, I only ever heard of Jennifer Lawrence as a name never put a face to it cause I didn’t really care to be curious about it just knew she was famous. I didn’t know she was so beautiful until she caught my eye in the movie I’m like hold up she’s gorgeous. Beautiful woman funny moments and overall a phenomenal movie. Love it! I hope they make more movies on that like a sequel or something. I need to watch more of it lmao. I also love how the movie starts out making her look stupid and then her intel randomly pops out when the parents basically interviewed her 😂 had me like woah your first impression wasn’t good at all but okay you’ve impressed me ahaha. Love the movie. 120% recommend it!!

What Jennifer Lawrence did in this scene is why she is the top of food chain in Hollywood. She does not speak and barely moves during entirety of song and yet conveys about half dozen emotions and feelings during it. It is a tour de force by professional thespian

Goosebumps....brilliant always come back for my mental heath... 😊

Such a great scene and that song is a true classic, still so good and the lyrics gets a deeper meaning in this version!

Andrew Barth Feldman is an incredible actor.

I just love Jennifer Lawrence. That’s it. I proudly follow that girl for 12 years now❤ She’s so fun and hysterical yet authentic and believable in this movie and this song sums it up

THIS is the scene where our boy grows up. At the start he is nervous and tense... Looking around, unsure of himself. As he plays, he just changes. Great scene.

This is honestly unbelievable. Serious goosebumps. Wasn’t expecting that

A very powerful arrangement of the song.

I actually started crying during this scene, I cant pinpoint it exactly, but something resonated with me deeply.

This makes me appreciate the skill of acting as you see on her face the emotions welling up and out.

and there goes me, searched the song and downloaded it right away coz of this scene. Classic. Probably simply the best

I haven't seen the movie and it somehow popped up in my FB feed. I watched it with nil context and was mesmerized by the mood and how well he played the song. I might have to watch the movie now.

Watched this last night, excellent film

Imagine being skewered and dissected, in front of a crowd, by someone you see as a child, singing a SONG.

Great cover Great song Brilliantly sung

She'll only come out at night The lean and hungry type Nothing is new, I've seen her here before Watching and waiting She's sitting with you but her eyes are on the door So many have paid to see, what'd you think, you'd get it for free The woman is wild, a she-cat tamed by the purr of a Jaguar Money's the matter, if you're in it for love you ain't gonna get too far Oh, here she comes Watch out boy she'll chew you up Oh, here she comes She's a man eater Oh, here she comes Watch out boy she'll chew you up Oh, here she comes She's a man eater I wouldn't if I were you, I know what she can do She's deadly man, and she could really rip your world apart Mind over matter The beauty is there but a beast is in the heart Oh, here she comes Watch out boy she'll chew you up Oh, here she comes She's a man eater Oh, here she comes Watch out boy she'll chew you up Oh, here she comes She's a man eater Oh, here she comes Watch out boy she'll chew you up Oh, here she comes She's a man eater Oh, here she comes Oh she'll chew you up Oh, here she comes Here she comes She's a man eater Oh, here she comes She'll only come out at night Oh, here she comes Here she comes she's a man eater Oh, here she comes The woman is wild oh Oh, here she comes Here she comes watch out boy watch out boy Oh, here she comes Oh watch out watch out watch out watch out Oh here she comes She's a man eater

I expected nothing from this movie. Certainly was not prepared for a soul resonating moment. Incredible performance by both actors!

What a darling movie this is. Well done in every aspect.

Kudos to Jennifer for taking on this role. Great movie with better acting than most give it credit for.

while I give the movie as a whole a high 5/10, this scene is undoubtably a 15/10. A real diamond in the rough

This was a brilliant bit of writing, directing, and acting and a high point of the beauty in these flawed characters. Audience could not help but love them both in this and subsequent scene of jealous behavior.

Great scene and amazing performance from both! Hats off.

For such a throw away film, the cinematography, acting and direction in this scene is mindblowing.

Oh how we love these vulnerable characters ❤❤

Can we also take a moment to appreciate the song writing skills of Daryl Hall and John Oates

Just another great Hall and Oates song. Very nice cover.

"I wouldn't if I were you, I know what she can do" favorite part!

I love watching this scene - it is just so well acted and directed.

This scene alone is worth watching the movie!

This was so beautiful!

i heard the original song but this is differentyou can really feel it. it hits hard

help my mom is obssessed with this cover and won't stop playing it . . . . . it is pretty good tho

This is so good more than the original

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!!!

I didn't expect to love this movie but I sure did!!

This is actually a great scene ❤😂

Lots of comments about Jennifer Lawrence, but this scene hits because of Barth Feldman. That he can play imperfectly and even sing imperfectly (sometimes not synching the piano with the voice, the thinner more hesitant vocals at the beginning, and even hitting the wrong key with the last chord) had to be practiced many times. Add superb acting to the musical performance. How does he do all of that at the same time? This doesn't take away from JL and her performance, which are excellent too, but his is another level.

One of my favorite scene in movies

I can’t stop watching it either. Some actors can just make you believe. JL is like that.

Glad I watched No Hard Feelings or I never would have found this gem.

Great scene, great song ,GREAT ACTORS...❤

I've cried once since 2006 and it was watching this. In my defence I was very tired on a plane, I blame the altitude 😆

This is such a good movie, it actually surprised me, i was just expecting a dumb comedy but it actually has a lot of heart

As a 45 year old heterosexual male this is my favourite scene in the movie and if you’ve seen the movie you’ll understand how it managed to outshine a certain beach scene by miles.

This film feels like 2000's R Rated Gross out Comedy meets Luis Bunuel and the Cohen Brothers. It's a bizarre blend of hilarious and awkward.

Probably the best scene of the movie

classic halll and oates. from h20 the album. great acting
