    Way overrated. Just because it is a foreign film released in the US does not mean it should get high scores. Anyway, the movie is over dramatic and leans ton heavily on melodrama.

    An effective and moving drama about the strength of the human spirit and the will to survive.

    Comes across as a kind of giant Renaissance canvas.
