Movie Reviews of All My Loved Ones
Movie Review: Family story . . .
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a familiar story told with elegance and poignance - about a well-to-do Jewish family in Prague in the late 1930s, as Nazism looms and in the final moments of the film overwhelms them. The joys and sorrows, meanwhile, are those of almost any extended family with brothers pulled in different directions, ranging from a doctor and a concert violinist to an amateur inventor. Another brother shows up who has been on the road with his own carnival.
The predictability of the story is countered by rapid scene changes and an attempt to follow the lives of several family members, so that one family crisis quickly falls on the heels of another. The story of Englishman Nicholas Winton, whose efforts saved 669 Jewish children, is only partially told. We meet him briefly at the start of the film and he appears again near the end. The emphasis is on the family, remembered in the voice-over narration of one of those children saved. While a celebration of family, its theme of impending annihilation makes it a melancholy story.
