Movie Reviews of Edges of the Lord
Movie Review: Why did Haley and Wilhem have to go to Europe to do this?
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the type of movie we only see from Europe. Very few American movies deal with the issues of childhood in a realistic manner and fewer still, deal with the issue of children growing up during a war without a Hollywood type exploitation. This film deserved greater distribution. Although not as lyrical as the excellent Island on Bird Street, this is a story that asks the viewer to decide just what sort of sacrifices he or she would have been willing to make in similar situations. As most of us are not involved in war, we must ask ourselves what are we willing to sacrifice on a daily basis for the good of society. If Haley and Wilhem had not been involved, this film would have had no American distribution at all. That is a shame. You must watch this film to fully understand and appreciate the significance of the title.Movie Review: One of the best films ever made
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie is as powerful as 'The Pianist' and 'Schindler's List'. It deals with children losing their innocence during the Second World War. The plot is excellent and the acting is superb (we have here not only Haley Joel Osment, but also another very talented young actor - Liam Hess; the Polish children did an excellent job as well).
I am a Pole and I am proud that such a good movie was shot in Poland, as Polish-American co-production. The crew itself is a mixture of Polish, British and American people - this fact itself makes the movie interesting to see.
I am happy that the movie has finally reached the States (in Poland it was issued on DVD two years ago).
Movie Review: Edges of the Lord
Summary: 5 Stars
Edges of the Lord is a GREAT movie set in the World War II era during the invasion of Poland. It is about a family who does what they can to save their child from being captured because he is Jewish and details the risks taken by those who assist with the plan. All of the actors did outstanding jobs in their roles. The movie is full of suspense and surprises and has a great story line. I would recommend this movie to anyone 15 years old and up.Movie Review: A poignant portrait in the middle of the War!
Summary: 5 Stars
The same director of the winner film Yol, wrote and directed a remarkable and haunting picture about a Jewish boy who will experience in Poland the cruelties of the War in a double dimension: the Nazis and some nasty human beings in the town. A devastating, powerful gaze around the ashes of the War.
Movie Review: A response to Grady Harp's review from a laughing Catholic
Summary: 5 Stars
Though I have yet to see the film, I will admit to being intrigued.
I just wanted to point out to Mr. Harp that there is a vast difference in saying "In the priest's cataclysm [sic] class..." as opposed to "catechism class," although I'm sure myriad fundamentalists would echo his sentiments.
