Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

glennabello I tuned into "The Dovekeepers" to see a historically accurate depiction of the Siege of Masada. What it turned out to be was one of the most insipid and juvenile presentations on TV this year. Not only was the acting superficial and the screen writing not worthy of even a bad high school play, but the story of this clinker was largely fantasy and left the viewer with a migraine. Cote de Pablo continues to sound like Ziva David (from NCIS) and I fully expected (actually hoped) that DiNozzo and Gibbs would helicopter in and rescue her from any further self-humiliation and torture of the audience. The only possible device that was added to grab a few viewers might be the steamy scenes in the local bath, but even those had little context as to the Siege of Masada, which should have been the actual historical event as written by Flavius Josephus from commentaries of Roman commanders present during the conflict. Instead, the writers choose to focus their attention on a novel (i.e., fictional account) of two women confirming Josephus' account. This miniseries was more applicable to a soap opera than good theater."The Dovekeepers" is just one more example of why good, thought-provoking TV should be left to the BBC.

bhkermit This was trash. I only watched the first night. I kept thinking this must get better. Nope. I should have given up on it improving. The message night one sends was that it is okay to have sex with married men. I couldn't even figure out what the main plot of the movie was supposed to be about.I also didn't understand the supernatural aspect. Where these just dreams or a guilty conscious.I have not read the book. One review said the movie does not reflect the book. I would like to hear from others that have read the book. I would be tempted to give the book a try.

vsmilack-17879 The book the Dovekeepers was interesting with much information about history. The movie is only sex and left all the information out. Also, the movie is very disjointed. I recommended this movie to friends and was embarrassed. What a total disappointment. Where were the scenes of of the destruction of the Temple, the hazards of traveling across the desert, that the person they were talking to was Josephus the great Historian, that Masada was built by Herod, the importance of the dovekeeping and sending of messages, who were the Essenes,where were the fields and what did they grow, what was the Mikveh, the explanations of the rituals done by Shira and her methods of holistic healing, etc. Where was all the information that was given in the book. We know about sex and lust but not about the history that was provided in the book. This movie removed the essence of the book leaving nothing of interest.

KenJoe The information I had before trying to watch this sounded good, sounded like it would be quite interesting. Unfortunately the program itself was amazingly boring. I admit, I did not watch the entire show, I gave up watching after 25 minutes. I would have quit sooner but I was hoping it would find some energy and take off.Every scene just plodded along, the times when there should have been the strongest of emotions, there were just frozen masks of indifference. As most, at times, a slight knowing smile, or a little frown of anger (I think that is what it was).Maybe it got better later on in the show, I just could not hang on anymore. It should have been a great story, I think, but not told and represented this way.I doubt too many people will find this interesting enough to watch all the way through.
