zwingli98 This film sucks.Jude Law and Clare Danes are fine actors but please watch them in something else. Indeed, if you can't find something else to watch them in then just close your eyes and imagine. Anything has to be fundamentally better than subjecting yourself to this subhuman bit of schmaltz.Comments about the cinematography or soundtrack are irrelevant - all is drowned out by the dull buzzing this so called motion picture invokes. It's driven me nearer divorce than anything else on the planet.Personally I'd rather have dug an eyeball out with a spoon than sit through this abject guff.

Katie The acting was atrocious, although with Claire Danes, I have yet to see a movie I liked. Jude Law made an interesting debut, but I didn't quite understand what he was supposed to be. Danes' character was just strange, I couldn't understand the collapse in the lecture. How many times can we beat the Jews or any other race for that matter? The move mad the mistake of making the general population seem very prejudiced. I found this movie unrealistic and boring. Too many of these "discover you're heritage" movies are coming out. At least mine, "Angela's Ashes" was decent, but if you've seen them once, you've seen them all. For those of you looking to reconnect with your past, might I suggest "The Pianist"? This movie is horrible, don't waste your time.

Jessie S (Jessie_Enchanted) This movie actually ( in my opinion was not to bad) I just wish that there had been a better ending. Jude Law was brought to my attention for the first time in this movie. Id rate him a good B .Id give the movie a B-

ledger42 I was attracted to this movie because I like Claire Danes and Jude Law. I saw another Jude Law picture,Music From Another Room, and hoped it would be a splendid surprise as it was. I was intrigued by the relationship of Daisy and her grandmother, they were fun to watch together. But the rest was all a blur. We are thrown into a tumultuous situation without any facts and are supposed to figure out what is going on and at the same time care about the characters. You are supposed to have ill feelings about Daisy's parents when you see them all of 2 seconds at the beginning of the film. As an intellectual watch it was okay, but don't rent it for fun or to see either of the main stars, it's not worth it.
