It is not an action movie and it is not plot-driven, but it dwells rather upon the relationships that develop over the course of the early life of a young woman whose father is a war veteran and writer in the style of Kurt Vonnegut (Kristofferson even looks like him) and with whom she shares a unique and rich connection. I'm not sure why those who review ... Read More Rating: - A rare film Basically, I am writing to rebut the negative reviews on this page. I saw this film years ago, and it rang very true to me- so much so that I wanted to buy the DVD. Have to admit that I was myself an ex-pat teenager in Europe in somewhat the same era, and Merchant Ivory replicated the feel of that time and place very well. The acting was excellent, and the reviewers who complain that the film doesn't "go anywhere" miss the point in that this is a film about growing up and experiences that ... Read More Rating: - Contains Profanity The reviews already written sum up this movie pretty well, so I can't add anything new. It's a typical artsy Merchant Ivory movie with lots of pretty pictures and not much story. If you view it just as the daughter's diary and don't expect a plot, it's more acceptable. I saw it because I'm a fan of James Jones and of Kris Kristofferson. It is boring, disjointed, and hard to sit through, but it does have a few redeeming moments. It's like watching someone else's home movies. Little drama ... Read More Rating: - No Sir, I Don't Like It I usually can stand "artistic" films, but this one was sooooo awful. The biggest complaint I have with the movie is that nothing ever happens. The film is split into several sections, all around major events in the life of the daughter of an American expatriate writer living in France in the 60's. In each section many events occur, and right when you think there will be some resolution, or conflict, or anything... they switch to another section. It's laughably pathetic how bad this is! Read More Rating: - strong characters, somewhat sleepy story I watched this movie for the second time (I think) last night with my husband and daughter. The R rating is somewhat extreme for this movie. Aside from Kris Kristofferson's characters rampant swearing, this movie could easily be rated PG-13 and then only for frank discussions about sex between the father and daughter. It could actually be considered a good "coming-of-age" movie for liberal-minded families, though even those who consider themselves liberal might disagree with the father's philosophy on life ...
