Movie Reviews of A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries
Movie Review: Interesting Father-Daughter Film
Summary: 3 Stars
This film is well-acted, understated, and interesting as an insight into an unusual family's life in 1960s France and 1970s America. It is not an action movie and it is not plot-driven, but it dwells rather upon the relationships that develop over the course of the early life of a young woman whose father is a war veteran and writer in the style of Kurt Vonnegut (Kristofferson even looks like him) and with whom she shares a unique and rich connection.
I'm not sure why those who review this film so negatively would even think to view such a film, since they apparently think that every movie should provide the unambiguous beginning-middle-end of a typical made for TV movie, complete with a satisfying resolution for every two-dimensional character and every predictable plot line. Life isn't like that for the most part and neither is this film. When one reaches a certain age life begins to take on the shape of a rich collection of images, scenes, expressions, and feelings---not so much a story arc. This film conveys that sense of life fairly well.
