 | The characters grab you immediately and make you feel their experiences. From the escaping parents striving for a new, free life, to the immigrant child and the roots she left behind, this is a story everyone can get into. It raises good points about the immigrant experience and the "American life". The time period is well represented, but the themes are applicable to any time period. From children age 10 to the adults I have recommended this too, everyone agrees: " A great movie!" |

| This is a wonderful movie, with a great story and it is very well directed and acted. It's refreshing to see Nastassja Kinski, a very underrated actress, getting a meaty role as opposed to slumming in some B-movie. She is excellent here, and like Virginia Madsen in 'Sideways', she's long overdue for a Hollywood comeback. |

| First of all, it was so refreshing to watch a movie that didn't seem like it came straight from the same old Hollywood recycling bin. This movie was original, unique, and very well cast and directed. This film also tells the story of a piece of history and a part of the world that is often overlooked and stereotyped. In a day and age where many films are made about "ethnic minority" immigrants, it was interesting to watch a film depicting the struggles of immigrants from a country in Europe (Hungary) that went through so much turmoil and hardship. The transition of different time periods and places (half the movie is set in Hungary - the other half in Los Angeles) was also smooth and well executed. Lastly, the cast was superb. Each character fit their individual roles perfectly and it was also interesting to see a pre-"Lost in Translation" Scarlett Johanssen. I highly recommend this film! |

| This is a beautiful film in every prospect. This is about a girl who was seperated from her family in Hungary and after years of seperation she rejoines her family in America. Her mother has never been happier to have her daughter around neither has her father but she is as unhappy as can be she misses her home and wants to go back. When her father realizes how unhappy she is he makes her a promise that if when she is older if she still wants to go back to Hungary he will get her a ticket back there. A few years pass and lots of things happen and she begins to hate her mother for everything she has ever done. The ending is wonderful and so is the rest of the movie I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did. I would recommend this to people who are 12 or older and are mature enough to understand the plot and take it seriously because this movie is based on a true story, enjoy the movie everyone! |

| I don't have the DVD yet but I just saw this movie on The Movie Channel just because Scarlett Johansson was in it and she's just arresting. The movie is great. You just don't know what kind of sacrifices people close to you make in order for you to have a better life than they did. It's hard also to move on and leave the ones you love. |
