Audience Member This is a very good movie, on family ties.. Acting, I love Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Very interesting movie; Kyra Sedgwick and her father flees Poland just before the Nazis invade it; sadly her mother and sister wasn't as lucky and perish in the Holocaust. But not so, the sister survives, and comes to New York, upsetting the life that she carefully and quietly started in the US. very interesting picture.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Liked this one a lot Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a solid, decent movie of anecdotes about family, relationship dynamics, and the things the Jews suffered because of the Holocaust, told through the lives of Jews in 1940's America, including the simultaneously confident and insecure character Rachel Weiss/Rose White. I recommend it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
