    Nastassja Kinski, in one of her most affecting performances, does much to convey the turmoil going in her soul.
  2. 60
    Ms. Gardos is not a particularly flavorful filmmaker, but she is an honest one.
  3. 60
    Its emotional sweep is ultimately undercut by murky characterizations and generic plotting.
  4. Gardos, an experienced film editor, has little narrative sense, and decent performances (except from Kinski, who just worries and huffs around) are left out to dry.

    I just watched this movie a second time and adored it as much as the first. Quite complex and beautiful with historical significance, some wonderful performances and just a tremendous amount of heart. Expand
