Engaging, Realistic, Meaningful, 6. November 2006

Author: film_ophile von boston mass. usa

I have just seen this at a screening for the Boston Jewish Film Festival. Even though it was the opening night festival film and was very well received, I hesitated to go because of the low IMDb rating. Hurrah that I forged ahead. This was a very realistic, non-Hollywood production with an excellent script that kept my attention from start to end. The actors WERE their characters; they were that transparent.Pain, angst, stubborn independence, and a deep yearning are what the two lead women share, and they build a friendship of trust and mutual support that enables them to grow stronger and make significant steps in their lives. THAT was really neat to be part of.

Enchanting little film, 8. Juni 2006

Author: Cresta von Hälsingland, Sweden

I liked this little drama movie. I just watched it by chance one night. I have some problems with the story development of Lily's character, though, but what I truly LOVED was the relationship that springs to life between old Lily and young Sandra, and how incredibly beautiful this is portrayed by the Danish grand actress Ghita Nørby and Swedish rising star Tuva Novotny. They play off each other so beautifully! You really get the feeling that these two actresses 'clicked' with each other somewhere along the line in the work of this film. I love generation films and as such this is one of the most wonderful films I've seen in recent years - because it's so simple it goes straight to your heart. But because it's simple the film also takes perhaps too many short-cuts in the plot/script. But the actresses and the directing are better than the movie itself; without Ghita Nørby's and Tuva Novotny's chemistry I don't think the film would have worked out.

I also loved the sisterhood feeling and the message of the film, especially between women of different ages/generations. It was a great "women film", films which are all too rare to be seen (actually the only one other great one that I've seen with similar feeling is "Enchanting April", 1992). That's why I also felt that this film was important, despite some shortcomings in storyline.

Recommended to everyone with a heart - and to girls worldwide! :)
