InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

drbaumzweiger Every Time We Say Goodbye takes on very significant historical, cultural, and family issues regarding the burden of History on individuals who are attempting to for personal relationships, Cultural conflicts that evolved from the violent history and the "Existential" plight that results from all of these influences deeply affecting individuals who attempting to create personal relationships.While Every Tine We Say Goodbye has some problems with smoothness in terms of the screen play, its content probes the very deep sources of hatred, prejudice and conflict that are threatening civilization three decades later.

funky_cherry86 This had to be one of the most tender love stories I had ever seen Every Time We Say Goodbye is a wartime romance filled with adventure and passion. The chemistry between Tom Hanks & Cristina Marsillach was purely charming and magical, I enjoy romantic movies and this one is #10 on my list of love films.The story begins in 1942 David Bradley, (Hanks) is an American pilot recovering from a leg injury when his plane went down and now resides in Jerusalem. One day his best friend and comrade Pete Ross (Taylor) introduces him to his fiancé Victoria Sasson (Atzmon) at a dance, she brings a friend with her Sarah Perrara (Marsillach)a beautiful 18 year old Jewish girl. David & Sarah both see and like something in each other, what starts as friendship slowly blossoms into love.When their passion is finally ignited Sarah's family does everything they can to prevent any further romantic developments such as taking her clothes and locking her in her bedroom. You see David's a catholic whose father is a protestant minister while she's Spanish and Jewish so can two people of diverse backgrounds keep their love alive or will they succumb to pressure. I enjoyed the passion filled scenes between Hanks' & Marsillach's characters they made a sweet couple.For those who haven't seen it I recommend you see the film it's a sweet gem

malvernp The average moviegoer wants to be entertained----that's a given. And most of us enjoy a good romantic story, lush locations and attractive performers. Well-----here is an early effort by Tom Hanks that attempts to be such a vehicle. Only one difficulty remains. It is intellectually bankrupt and morally dishonest.The Hanks character (David) is an American airman recovering from wounds in Jerusalem early during World War II. He is also the son of a Presbyterian minister and apparently has minimal knowledge of a world that involves observant Jews----let alone Sephardic Jews descended from those expelled from Spain in 1492 during the Inquisition.He meets and falls in love (lust?) with Sarah, a member of a large observant Israeli Sephardic family with deep values steeped in tradition and history. Sarah knows in her own mind that this relationship is completely wrong and will only cause her and her family much grief because of the fundamental clash of her core beliefs with those of the Protestant David.Nonetheless, she and David become involved----and true to the world of most trite movie romance-----the interesting and difficult philosophical and intellectual issues presented by their relationship are conveniently not explored by the principals while the more simplistic aspects of physical attraction come front and center to do their thing. You know, the raging hormones bit.Sure, he is a decent guy and she is a fine young woman. But apart from their hormones raging, they have absolutely nothing in common. Does this seem to matter at all? Apparently not. In the end, after she has had an opportunity to superficially reflect on the world she is about to give up forever for a man whose central values she barely knows----Sarah yields to the unrealistic but fanciful expectation of life as an indefinite honeymoon with David---separated from her family, tradition and history.One scene in the film makes a telling statement. While David and Sarah are beginning their problematic courtship and are walking through the streets of old Jerusalem, Sarah asks him if he would be interested in visiting the Tomb of King David nearby. The Hanks character swiftly indicates absolutely no desire to do so. In this way, we know that he is only In Love with Love, and not the total person Sarah really is. We also understand that he has zero intellectual curiosity about Sarah's world. We finally comprehend that the creators of this movie embraced the KISS principle in making it---Keep It Simple Stupid!This is a shallow and unintelligent film by even generally accepted Hollywood standards. But it is truly shocking when we realize that the film was written, produced and directed by Israelis. What were they thinking about? Apparently, that True Love Always Finds a Way------and that absolutely nothing else seems relevant?Shared values do matter. No wonder that in America, one in two marriages ends in divorce. This film provides a blueprint as to why this happens.This film is for die-hard Tom Hanks fans only----and folks who like their romantic fiction at its most primitive level. Anyone else will be insulted and repelled by the story on any one of several substantive grounds.Hanks must have been pretty hard up financially to get committed to this project. Any other explanation is difficult----perhaps impossible---to find---unless he was looking for a free trip to Israel!

Atoory I just finished watching this movie from start to finish, and wondered weather i could by it on DVD, thats how much i liked it...but unfortunately its not available on DVD. while i was watching it - i kept laughing at some parts of the movie cause the portrayal of the Jewish family reminded me of how true some middle eastern families are...i enjoyed this movie - it had many good points but it wasn't anything wow or spectacular - cause it was rather weak in some areas thats why its understandable why its not that well known or everyones favourite love movie...there isn't much to the plot - thats why i don't feel i can talk about it without feeling I'm giving to much away...and the direction isn't strong and it leaves something to be desired and not to mention the acting at some points feel rather fake or maybe fake is too a strong a word to use and the right word to use would be weak. I'm sad to say that because there was so much potential to this film to have become something really really special - but its let down in so many areas that its not just one thing that can make it better...but saying all that it still has some parts that are really wonderful and moments that just might melt your heart if even they are only but for a few seconds - they are wonderful moments...i think if it didn't feel so dated maybe it would have felt more real and there for more believable...i really enjoyed it and for those of you that like Tom Hanks maybe you should try and get a hold of a copy to view... but over all its a great film - really worth watching - mind you - its not for everyone - but then again what film is?
