Movie Reviews of The Man Who Cried
Movie Review: A must for Johnny Depp fans
Summary: 4 Stars
I have recently started watching and renting as many Johnny movies as I can get my hands on. The movie begins a bit slow, but for anyone that enjoys the artsy, historical flicks that pop up on occasion, you can get through it. The story of the poor little Jewish Russian girl is just beyond sad. Watching Christina Ricci, I couldn't imagine feeling more sorry for anyone. But when she meets Johnny, Cesar, her life changes and she actually finds a smile. Although the dialogue between the two is minimal, it says so much. Johnny has such a way of expressing himself with his eyes and facial features. Its one of my favorite things about him. I definitely recommend this for any Depp fans. I find it an amazing movie and it nearly brought me to tears.Movie Review: Lovely Film
Summary: 4 Stars
Absorbing, touching and memorable. Depp, as ever, is amazing and Ricci is excellent as well (as are the other actors). If you enjoy movies that are romantic yet not sappy, see this one! It also exposes the harsh realities of wartime and its ramifications-- especially the loss of family/identity (and the subsequent yearning to belong to a community). Certainly not a film for those who want a bit of cotton candy with their popcorn. Further, this film is well paced for its storyline.
Movie Review: Great movie -- wonderful soundtrack
Summary: 4 Stars
Great storyline. The music by Osvaldo Golijov underwrites the drama of the movie. John Turturro was amazing as one of the lead characters -- the opera singer -- as this is most different from most roles he has played. Johnny Depp was mysterious, deep, distanced but acknowledges the attraction that Christina Ricci's character has for him. Cate Blanchett's character richly unfolds as the movie progresses. Cinematography was very colorful and sets the movie just "right".Movie Review: A haunting movie for the eyes, ears and soul...
Summary: 4 Stars
First of all, the music is fabulous. Then there is superb acting, as well as a haunting plot in the midst of an increasingly turbulent period of history. I picked this up on a previously viewed sale rack and was very pleased I took the risk (I hadn't seen it). No, it isn't for the action junkies... but then, I wouldn't be recommending it if it was. It is artistic, sensitive fare for those who prefer that to mindless action and violence, or juvenile humor.Movie Review: Beautiful,yet a little lacking,film!
Summary: 4 Stars
Christina Ricci is at her best as the quiet russian who plans to find her refugee father.She plays a woman who as a child was sent to live in england with others.She moves to Paris to dance as ww 2 breaks out.This is the best part of the move,and things go weak when she comes to america.It just seemed like a false "hollywood ending".Still a pretty great movie for the most part.The photography,sets,performances, and music are top notch!
