Movie Reviews of A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries
Movie Review: A rare film
Summary: 5 Stars
Basically, I am writing to rebut the negative reviews on this page. I saw this film years ago, and it rang very true to me- so much so that I wanted to buy the DVD. Have to admit that I was myself an ex-pat teenager in Europe in somewhat the same era, and Merchant Ivory replicated the feel of that time and place very well.
The acting was excellent, and the reviewers who complain that the film doesn't "go anywhere" miss the point in that this is a film about growing up and experiences that make up part of who we are and therefore can't be compressed into plot developement, of beginning, middle, and dramatic end.
Also think Francis, the possibly gay character was touching, reminded me of people I have known etc. It seems to me that the teenage theme of betraying true friends because of peer pressure and desire to appear "cool" isn't dealt with very much in films, so hats off to Merchant Ivory and the author for trying.
