Ben Sachs Chicago Reader Smug and unconvincing, this 2008 period drama from the Netherlands is the sort of movie that defines an era solely by its prejudices, on the implicit assumption that we'll applaud the central characters for their modern attitudes. Dec 13, 2011 Full Review Richard Nilsen Arizona Republic This very pretty melodrama is a rather ordinary entry. Rated: 3/5 Jul 14, 2011 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The events in the plot are the stuff of soap opera, but the movie treats it seriously, and the acting is convincing enough that we forgive the story and begin to care about the characters. Rated: 3/4 Jun 30, 2011 Full Review Jack Fleischer Battleship Pretension Ignore the title, bring your reading glasses, and give it a try. Mar 24, 2021 Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row It's a stubbornly pedestrian art house beach read, a yuppie book club selection of a film that entertains in the moment but is forgotten just as quickly. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 5, 2019 Full Review James Plath Movie Metropolis A straight-up romance that does a nice job of capturing the period, though the three lives of the main female characters stand out as obvious "types." Rated: 6/10 Dec 29, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This could have been an incredible story - instead, it's an undeveloped story that manages to cobble together a few good moments. Ended feeling incomplete and just sad. Augh... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member I saw the trailer a while back and wasn't sure I would ever see this movie. But I'm glad I did. It was a wonderful story line, excellent, well-developed characters and quite a few unexpected outcomes. Worth seeing at least once. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely taken in by the characters, the time, the place and the stories. Well acted. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member A charming and engaging movie. Worth your time to see this...don't miss it. Currently (4/13) on netflix streamng. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought the photography was excellent. The story was a bit muddled but then I think most lives or at times. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review thomas a A lovely Dutch romance that focuses on showing the lives of several couple a community of Dutch immigrants in post-WW2 New Zealand. Though the pace is kinda long-winded, it is still a poignant movie overall. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
