TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
KlutzyGirl This is included in the DVD of "The River," and in my and my friend's opinions it is far better than that film, which we enjoyed. With her daughter, who was born there, Rumer Godden at age 86 journeys back to India, where she spent the first approximately 35 years of her life. She visits the places she lived and talks very movingly about her life there. She has a genuine love for and understanding of India, which comes across in her books. The cinematography alone makes it worth seeing, it is so extraordinarily beautiful; and her story is enthralling. Even if you've never read any of her books or seen any of the films based on them, you will enjoy this film. Very very highly recommended!
