      Joshua Land Time Out Rated: 4/5 Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Rated: A- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Kelly Jane Torrance Washington Times This character-driven drama is so gripping because every actor is so good, with each making archetypes - the nasty stepfather, the angry husband, the rich gentleman - that transcend their familiarity. Rated: 3.5/4 Dec 13, 2018 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Offers an uncanny soap opera story that turns weird. Rated: B Aug 16, 2011 Full Review Lawrence Toppman Charlotte Observer The movie begins with a flood that threatens Prague literally; it ends with a flood of emotions that threaten to undermine a potentially happy relationship.

      Audience Member if you like this film, you can buy it on www.czechmovie.com Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review marc-olivier m Great movie. Sadly overlooked. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member At one point someone is reading Kundera's Lightness of Being. It fits with the film, a sensitive and funny relationship drama filled with quirky characters and emotional conflicts. It's also romantic and sexy in all the best measure, delivers a solid literate story, and gives a glimpse of life in the Czech Republic. There's some history, but mostly it's a story of a man and woman at odds, their breakup, the new man, and the family members who are caught up in the changes. Came out in 2006 but only made it to video store recently. My first Czech film experience, looking forward to more. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Another well made, thoughtful film from director Jan Hrebejk. The film's strengths are its story and its characters. Most of the characters are richly drawn, while the intriguing premise is handled with an appropriately somber tone. Hrebejk relies too heavily on pop music interludes, and one or two of the more minor characters dwell on such extremes that make them less believable. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Moral ambiguity never looked so good. And some people can't make a good decision to save their lives. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Evocative. The storyline may be simple, but the characters are not, and through the movie we meet many who leave much food for thought. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
