75Krabbe attempts to stuff too many themes and subplots into the story.
-
75An exceptional film -- unpacks long-buried suitcases, both figuratively and literally.
-
The film is a thoughtful, but by no means somber, look at an issue that might strike a particular chord with Jews.
-
70Krabbé alternates exaggeration with sentiment, but the main characters are relatively complex, and its surprise ending is genuinely affecting.
-
The only glaring fault of this otherwise fine film is that director Jeroen Krabbe's sense of drama is far too heavy-handed in spots.
-
60Manipulative filmmaking at its most gently persuasive.
-
60Becomes disarmingly warm and even a little folksy at times, but Edwin de Vries' script proves devastatingly deceptive.
-
50One of those movies where the audience knows the message before the film begins and the characters are still learning it when the film ends.
-
50The drama has compelling moments and touches of imagination, but it relies more on sentiment than sense in conveying its messages about faith, family, and tradition.
-
50After a dreadfully clunky start, Left Luggage picks up and becomes quite moving.
-
50Not for everyone's taste, I'd think, but a notably thoughtful effort nonetheless.
-
50A well intentioned but uneven and overly sentimental film.
-
41Has only its actors to keep it afloat.
-
40Can a adorable, freckle-faced four-year-old save an entire movie? Sadly no.
-
40So intent on pushing its virtuous agenda that its characters often sound like mouthpieces parroting predigested attitudes.

ArnoldR.10Best film I've seen in several years. This film is a work of art to be appreciated by small sophisticated audience.
